Worn Tires, Abuse Items, Service or Product Solutions
Not like your personal vehicle, lift trucks are not equipped with suspension springs which give added cushioning. Hence, it is extremely essential to replace worn tires or chunked tires which cause jarring impacts to the axle parts, the driver, and load and to the wheel.

There are many demanding applications that rely upon using the proper tires to ensure maximum lift truck performance. In order to ensure that your material handling equipment has the right tires, just request an application survey from your local Cat forklift dealer. It is very vital not to forget that operating with worn lift truck tires may cause premature wear to the bottom of the tines. Worn forks could greatly jeopardize the ability of the lift truck to lift. This type of situation creates an extremely unsafe and dangerous work surrounding.

It is time to change the tines, when the fork's heel is worn more than 10%. Routine blade inspections are needed in order to make certain that your machinery is safely operating and that your equipment is operating with safe forks. These inspections are vital to the safety of your operators along with anyone else working near the machinery.

Riding the inching pedal is a bad habit that is sadly taken up by lots of lift truck operators. This inching pedal riding could lead to costly damage to the transmission of the vehicle. In order to prevent major component failure from happening, just utilize the inching pedal when you are approaching a rack and wish to apply the brakes while the engine is revving. This allows the hydraulics to function at full speed. The brake pedal is utilized to regularly stop the forklift when the hydraulics is not being used and is situated in the middle.

Anytime a forklift encounters impact to its surroundings or to goods and products which are traveling at high speeds, there are major components like wheels, tires, body panels, forks, backrests and attachments that might suffer a lot.

In addition to assigning equipment to an operator, you will find particular products available to help decrease product damage like keyless access systems, vehicle speed limiter and impact monitor.
