Heavy Equipment Repair

Most mechanics in Illinois will not service a telehandler. Almost none of them touch ETI or Versa Lift bucket trucks. Masterman Heavy Equipment Service LLC provides rapid field diagnostics and on-site repairs across Chicagoland, backed by a fully equipped repair shop in Schaumburg for major overhauls. We dispatch to your staging yard or job site to fix it in the field, or coordinate transport to our facility when heavy structural or hydraulic teardowns are required.

What We Provide

What We Service?

Skytrak Telehandler Repair

Skytrak telehandlers are workhorses on commercial construction and agricultural sites across Chicagoland. When a hydraulic line blows or a boom issue takes the machine out of service, you need an expert. We diagnose and perform field repairs across Cook, DuPage, Will, and Lake counties, and handle major boom overhauls at our Schaumburg shop.

JLG Telehandler & Lift Repair

JLG produces a wide range of telehandlers and aerial work platforms. We service and repair JLG equipment on-site at your job site or facility across Chicagoland. Hydraulic faults, boom issues, engine problems, and electrical failures – we diagnose and fix at your location.

Genie Lift & Telehandler Repair

Genie lifts and telehandlers appear on construction sites, industrial facilities, and rental yards across the Chicagoland area. We service Genie equipment on-site. If your Genie unit is down in Elgin, Naperville, Arlington Heights, or anywhere in the metro, call us before you call the rental company.

Lull Telehandler Repair

Lull telehandlers are common on construction sites and in industrial operations across Illinois. We service Lull equipment on-site across Chicagoland. If your Lull is down on an active job site, we schedule service fast and come to you.

Skyjack Repair

We service Skyjack aerial work platforms and telehandlers on-site across the Chicagoland area. Skyjack equipment is common on commercial construction projects – when it goes down mid-job, we get there and fix it where it sits.

ETI Bucket Truck Repair

ETI and bucket trucks are specialty equipment. They require a mechanic who understands the hydraulic systems, the boom mechanisms, and the specific failure points these machines develop over time. Finding that mechanic on a mobile basis in Illinois is genuinely difficult.

We service ETI bucket trucks in the field across Chicagoland. If your utility crew has a unit down, we diagnose the hydraulic and boom mechanisms on-site. For major structural repairs, we utilize our fully equipped facility.

Versa Lift Repair

Versa Lift equipment is even more specialized than ETI. Very few mechanics in the state will take a Versa Lift service call. We do. We service Versa Lift machines on-site across Illinois and treat these calls with the same urgency as any other emergency breakdown.

If you manage Versa Lift equipment and have been struggling to find a reliable mobile mechanic, call Robert directly. He will tell you exactly what we can do and how fast we can get to you.

Why This Service Matters for Utility & Construction Operations?

Aerial equipment failure is not just a downtime problem

When a bucket truck or telehandler fails with a crew member at height, the situation becomes a safety issue immediately. We treat these service calls with urgency. We come fast, we diagnose carefully, and we do not return the machine to service until it is safe to operate.

ETI and Versa Lift mechanics are rare in Illinois

If you manage utility equipment in Chicagoland, you already know this. The mechanics who know ETI and Versa Lift on a mobile basis number in the single digits across the state. We are on that list. If you have been working around this problem with patch repairs or long wait times, call Robert and talk through what consistent mobile service would look like for your fleet.

One mechanic for your whole telehandler fleet

If you manage Skytrak on one site, JLG on another, and Genie on a third, you are used to calling three different mechanics. We cover all of them. One call to Robert handles your entire telehandler fleet across multiple Chicagoland sites.

Field & Facility Capabilities

Telehandlers and bucket trucks are not equipment you can easily trailer across town, especially when a boom is stuck or outriggers are deployed. We drive to your site to diagnose the issue and perform safe field repairs. If the machine requires a major hydraulic overhaul, engine replacement, or structural rebuild, we coordinate transport back to our Schaumburg facility. You get rapid field response combined with heavy-duty shop capabilities.

Who We Work With?

We work with utility contractors whose ETI and Versa Lift bucket trucks keep crews working on overhead lines and telecom infrastructure across Chicagoland. We work with construction fleet directors managing telehandlers across a dozen active sites in Cook and DuPage County. We work with rental companies that need a mobile mechanic who can service their Genie and JLG inventory on location. We work with general contractors whose Skytrak or Lull is the only machine on a job site that can reach the upper floors.

If aerial equipment or specialty utility machines are part of your operation, we are the mobile mechanic you call when they go down.
