Forklifts and material-handling equipment (MHE) are a diagnostics niche with almost no independent coverage: dealers guard the software, and warehouse downtime is measured in truckloads. Jaltest's MHE module opens the category to independents.
Coverage and tool options
| Segment | Systems covered | Recommended tools |
|---|---|---|
| Toyota / Raymond | Diagnostics + service functions | Jaltest MHE |
| Hyster / Yale | Diagnostics + calibrations | Jaltest MHE / Hyster PC Service Tool |
| Crown | Diagnostics | Jaltest MHE coverage |
| Electric MHE | Battery, controllers, chargers | Jaltest MHE + brand tools |

Can a truck scanner diagnose a forklift?
Not meaningfully — MHE controllers are proprietary (Zapi, Curtis, brand-specific). MHE-rated coverage (Jaltest MHE or brand tools) is required beyond basic J1939 engines.
Is MHE diagnostics a real service opportunity?
Yes — warehouse/logistics growth plus dealer-lock on brand software means independent MHE service is under-supplied in most markets. The equipment population is enormous.
