Freight hub of the Midwest
Joliet is the third-largest city in Illinois. It sits where I-80 and I-55 cross, next to the big rail terminals in Joliet and neighboring Elwood, an area often called the largest inland port in North America. The result is mile after mile of distribution centers and warehouses along I-80, I-55, Laraway Road, Route 53 and Channahon Road, plus manufacturers, truck and equipment shops, hospitals, Joliet Junior College, the University of St. Francis and downtown.
What comes in from Joliet
Our Joliet work falls into two groups:
- Contractor lifts. General and electrical contractors working the area’s warehouses and plants. Their lifts move between job sites and come back needing batteries, controls or an inspection.
- Warehouse and plant lifts. Machines that stay in one building and run long shifts. These tend to need hydraulic leak repairs, drive motors and brakes, and new battery packs. A typical example is a slab scissor in a Joliet-area manufacturing shop with a leaking hydraulic line.
Batteries are replaced with 6-volt flooded deep-cycle batteries in a 24-volt setup, and we check the charger before the lift goes back.
Getting to Joliet
Our shop at 1750 W. Armitage Court in Addison is about 34 miles north of downtown Joliet, around 50 minutes down I-355 to I-55 or I-80 without traffic. That’s a little beyond our usual 30-mile range, but we serve Joliet regularly. To make the trip worth it:
- Send details first (model, serial, photos of the leak or fault code) so we arrive with the right plan.
- One lift or a whole fleet? Either way, we’ll arrange the right truck, so a building with several down lifts doesn’t pay for several separate trips.
- For fleets, an on-site inspection day ($350 per lift) means nothing has to leave the floor.
Transport is quoted per trip because fuel and driver costs change. Driving up this way anyway? Drop-offs at our Addison shop are welcome and skip the transport fee. We pick up and deliver Monday to Friday, 7am to 3pm.

Annual ANSI inspection in Joliet
Every lift in service needs its annual ANSI/OSHA inspection within 13 months of the last one. We inspect Joliet machines for $225 in our Addison shop or $350 on-site, same-day certificate when pre-scheduled, and we log your renewal date so it never lapses. Multiple lifts at one site? Ask about a multi-unit inspection day.
Repair & battery service
Repairs run $150/hr plus parts, quoted after same-day diagnosis and approved by you first. The common calls: dead battery packs (we install 6-volt flooded deep-cycle batteries (a 24-volt system) and set the charge profile), hydraulic leaks and drift, chargers, joysticks, and control boxes. Machine stuck up or blocking a dock? On-site help is available when pickup isn’t practical.

Joliet scissor lift service FAQ
How fast can you get to Joliet?
We’re about 30 miles away in Addison — usually same-day or next-morning pickup, and down machines get priority scheduling.
Do you service lifts I didn’t buy from you?
Yes — Genie, Skyjack, and JLG, wherever you got the machine. We’re an independent shop, not a rental chain that prioritizes its own fleet.
Is it cheaper than on-site repair?
Usually. Pickup and shop repair means no hourly meter running on a truck in your lot, the right parts on the shelf, and the machine tested before it comes back.
