Forklift Service Center

The traffic on Vkk Menon Rd can be a real headache sometimes, especially right outside our door at number 65. New Siddhapudur is always moving, and we are right in the middle of it here at the Forklift Service Center. We have stacks of tires and old engine blocks sitting around because there is always something that needs fixing. It is a bit cramped in the back, but we know where everything is. Most days start with a cup of tea and then it’s straight into the hydraulics. We see all kinds of forklifts, some so old you wonder how they are still standing. We don't do much talking; we just get to work on whatever came in the night before. The air smells like diesel and old metal, which is something you just get used to after a week or two. If you walk past, you will probably hear the sound of a wrench hitting the floor or someone shouting over a running motor. It is a practical life, working with your hands and trying to figure out why a machine stopped lifting. We aren't trying to be anything other than a local shop that does its job. People around New Siddhapudur know the spot, and they know we will be here until the sun goes down. It’s just how we run things on this street. We don't have any fancy mission statements, just a lot of old tools and plenty of work to keep us busy.
