Lift Truck PM Service scheduling software

Does anyone have any info on a software program that can schedule PM Service for my customers?
I don`t need it tied into my main accounting software program where it invoices, and adjusts inventory, etc.
It just needs to flag us when a PM service is about due by entering a time interval or approxiamated hours operated by a data that you enter about the customer and hours per day operated, etc.
It should have info about the Truck`s : Make, Model Serial#, Filters used for PM Service, Last PM performed, PM interval data, etc.

there are a lot of CMMS systems out there that do this.. I have used quite a few, email me for my opinions...

The cheapest way would a simple spreadsheet, like excel, with dates and meter readings entered.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
