Counter balanced forklift maintenance can effectively extend the service life of forklifts, and it is also a guarantee of safe work, so that your forklift can be in the best working condition at any time. Below, the editor shares with you the ten maintenance methods that effectively extend the service life of forklifts, hoping to help you
1. Reduce impact damage
In aisles that are too narrow, it is best to arrange well-trained forklift drivers to work in this section, and pay attention to the vibration alarm and turn indicator lights to avoid hitting people, etc.
2. Provide professional training for forklift operators
Teach them safety common sense, which can reduce the damage rate to the rough terrain forklift itself and the goods, and also greatly reduce the failure rate of forklifts.
3. Arrange preventive maintenance
It is best to formulate a maintenance plan and regularly maintain the forklift. In the long run, formulating and implementing maintenance plans can save a lot of money, which can prevent the failure of major components, and also avoid many expensive repair costs, extending the life of your forklift.
4. To formulate a strict forklift management system
When the forklift is not in use, please remove the key to avoid unnecessary damage caused by other non-operating personnel. Tell the operator that during the forklift process, for some narrow aisles, you must get off the vehicle and measure the width of the aisle to estimate whether the forklift and the goods can pass safely.
5. Replace easily worn tires
This is a must-do job, just like a sports car. Due to full-load work, the tires are very worn, so the sports car must have better tires after a race, so that it can continue the race. Forklifts also use tires, and excessive wear or block tires will make the forklift unstable during work and produce huge vibrations, which is very harmful to the electrical system and hydraulic system.
6. Keep the forklift working environment clean, and pay attention to the cleaning of the forklift itself
Forklifts work in environments such as warehouses and production workshops. Clean the floor of the forklift workplace frequently, and even consider using plastic pallets or metal pallets instead of wooden pallets.
7. Add hydraulic oil and lubricating oil in time
Forklift machinery requires more maintenance, and insufficient hydraulic oil will cause the forklift to fail to reach its rated height and rated load, which will also affect work efficiency.
8. Operate the forklift according to the forklift manual
Do not operate it incorrectly. Misoperation may damage the forklift at best or cause a forklift accident at worst.
9. After work every day, take half an hour or an hour to listen to the "sound" of the forklift
Since the forklift is often working at full capacity, in order to ensure normal operation the next day, please listen to the working sound of the forklift to ensure whether it is normal and whether it can be analyzed and used tomorrow.
10. Forklift battery maintenance is very important
Some batteries are lead-acid batteries now, and most batteries still need maintenance. Pay attention to check whether the forklift has enough distilled water. Pay attention when charging. Although most rechargeable batteries are intelligently charged, they still cannot be plugged in for a long time, otherwise the charger will be damaged.
