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

There are a lot of demanding applications which rely upon utilizing the correct tires to ensure maximum forklift performance. In order to ensure that your material handling equipment has the proper tires, just request an application survey from your local Cat forklift dealer. It is really essential not to forget that operating with worn lift truck tires may result in premature wear to the bottom of the blades. Worn forks could really jeopardize the ability of the lift truck to lift. This situation creates a dangerous and extremely unsafe 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 certain that your equipment is safely functioning, routine fork inspections are needed to make certain that your machinery is operating with safe forks. These inspections are really important to the safety of your drivers as well as anybody else working near the equipment.

Sadly, lots of lift truck drivers have taken up the bad habit of riding the inching pedal. This could cause costly damage to the vehicle's transmission. To be able to prevent major part failure from happening, just utilize 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 located in the middle and is utilized to regularly stop the truck when the hydraulics is not being used.
