rocket_launchStatus: Technically complete, launch in preparation. ForkScan.pro is a 50/50 joint venture between WebPX and an industry expert from the forklift service sector. The platform is about to officially launch.

Project Overview

Service technicians for forklifts and material handling equipment face the same challenge daily: A vehicle displays an error code - but which manufacturer was it again? Where’s the right manual? The knowledge exists, but it’s scattered across paper folders, laptops, and the minds of experienced technicians.

ForkScan.pro solves this problem with a centralized, cross-manufacturer error code database. Service technicians can enter error codes and instantly get the right solution - whether it’s Linde, Jungheinrich, Still, Toyota, Crown, or any of the 17+ other supported manufacturers.

What makes this project special: It’s a true joint venture. Our partner brings decades of industry experience - he knows the technicians’ pain points firsthand and has access to the error codes. We bring the technical expertise: Modern software development, DevOps, security, and UX.
