Abuse Items, Product or Service Solutions, Worn Tires
Forklifts, not like your personal vehicle, are not outfitted with suspension springs that provide additional cushioning. Thus, it is extremely important to replace worn tires or chunked tires which cause jarring impacts to the driver, the axle components, and to the wheel and load.

To ensure maximum lift truck performance, there are actually numerous applications which depend upon using correct tires. You could just request an application survey from your local Cat lift truck dealer, in order to ensure that your material handling machinery has the proper tires. It is very essential to remember that operating with worn forklift tires can result in premature wear to the bottom of the forks. Forks which are worn can really jeopardize the ability of the forklift to lift. This situation creates an extremely unsafe and dangerous work environment.

It is time to change the tines, when the fork's heel is worn over 10%. Routine fork inspections are required in order to make certain that your equipment is safely operating and that your machine is functioning with safe forks. These inspections are important to the safety of your drivers as well as anybody else working near the machinery.

Sadly, many lift truck operators have taken up the bad habit of riding the inching pedal. This can cause costly damage to the transmission of the vehicle. In order to avoid major part failure from occurring, only utilize the inching pedal when you are approaching a rack and wish to apply the brakes while the engine is revving. This enables the hydraulics to function at full speed. The brake pedal is located in the middle and is used to regularly stop the forklift when the hydraulics is not being used.

Impact Damage
There are major components like wheels, tires, body panels, forks, attachments and brackets which suffer a lot anytime a lift truck encounters impact to its product or to its surrounding while traveling at high speeds.

In addition to assigning machinery to a driver, you will find particular products available to help lessen product damage including keyless access systems, vehicle speed limiter and impact monitor.
