Worn Tires, Abuse Items, Service or Product Solutions
Not like your personal vehicle, forklifts are not outfitted with suspension springs which give extra cushioning. Thus, it is very essential to replace chunked tires or worn tires that cause jarring impacts to the driver, the axle components, and to the wheel and load.

There are a lot of demanding applications which rely upon utilizing the right tires to guarantee maximum lift truck performance. In order to ensure that your material handling machine has the proper tires, just request an application survey from your local Cat lift truck dealer. It is very important to remember that operating with worn forklift tires can lead to premature wear to the bottom of the blades. Worn forks could greatly jeopardize the ability of the forklift to lift. This type of situation creates an extremely unsafe and dangerous work environment.

When the heel on the forks is worn more than 10 percent, it is time to change the forks. In order to make sure that your machinery is safely functioning, routine fork inspections are needed to make sure that your machinery is working with safe forks. These inspections are essential to the safety of your operators along with anybody else working in close proximity to the equipment.

Sadly, lots of forklift operators have taken up the bad habit of riding the inching pedal. This can result in costly damage to the transmission of the vehicle. To be able to prevent major part failure from happening, just use the inching pedal when you wish to apply the brakes while the engine is revving and are approaching a rack. This enables the hydraulics to function at full speed. The brake pedal is used to regularly stop the forklift when the hydraulics is not being utilized and is located in the middle.

Impact Damage
Anytime a lift truck encounters impact to its goods and products or to its surrounding which are traveling at high speeds, you will find major components like tires, wheels, body panels, forks, attachments and brackets which might suffer a lot.

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