4 Tricks to keep your forklift in good condition

Like any machine, forklifts require periodic overhaul. However, it is good to keep the forklifts in the best possible condition, because our safety and those around us depend on them. In addition, being industrial machines, failures can occur much faster, and the repercussions may be greater than you expect.

If you want to fully enjoy your new forklift, then you need to take into account his needs and regularly take care of his maintenance. This way, you will always have a safe machine in the warehouse, and its useful life will increase considerably.

Contrary to what you might think, machine maintenance is not difficult at all. On the contrary, it is very simple. And to prove you, in today's article I made a selection of 4 tricks by which you can keep the forklift in good condition.

Check your tires regularly

The first tip to keep your forklift in good condition is to check your tires regularly. Before starting the work day, check the tire wear and pressure and make sure they are in optimum condition. Inappropriate wheel pressure or increased or irregular wear may cause the forklift to operate differently.

Check all supplies and safety items

An important step in keeping the forklift in good condition is to check the supplies, such as antifreeze and oil, and safety features, such as the emergency stop, the technical specification plate, the rear-view mirrors and the seat belt. Check them every day, before or at the end of the work program.

Change the oil every three months

Changing the oil of a forklift is just as important as changing the oil of a car. Ideally, in the case of a forklift that is used for at least 40 hours a week, the oil should be replaced every three to four months at most. This is one of the most important aspects and it will help you keep the forklift engine in very good condition, it will even improve its characteristics if you use the right oil.

Lubricates the forklift

To keep the forklift moving parts in good condition, you must lubricate them periodically. By lubricating these parts, the movements will be easier and there will be no friction.
