Which parts of the forklift truck should be checked most often? Part I

Forklift operators know exactly which parts and parts are worn most often as time goes by. In many of the warehouses in Romania, the forklifts operate non-stop, because the operators work in shifts. This is why our recommendation is that, periodically, before starting a new work day, you should inspect the most important parts of the forklift truck in order to prevent early accidents and accidents at work, but also to always work at maximum performance.

In general, forklifts tend to wear out pretty quickly due to the high level of use, which is why they always work at optimal parameters and should be properly maintained. Many fast-moving parts need to be replaced, as their repair is only a temporary and uncertain solution. The good news is that most of these parts can be easily replaced and that their replacement is done quickly, without wasting much time. This article is the first in a series of three. So, let's see together which parts of the forklift truck should be checked most often?

Fork

The fork is responsible for lifting the load and is the most important part of the forklift. It is generally made of high quality metals with high tensile strength and is extraordinarily resistant. However, if the forklift is not operated properly, chances are that it will be damaged. And if it breaks down, then the entire forklift becomes inoperative.

Oil filter

The oil filter is responsible for maintaining the engine smoothly by retaining particles and impurities in the oil. It must be replaced periodically, depending on how much the forklift is used. Usually, the term is once every three months.

Seat

If you use the forklift every day, you certainly know how important it is to always be in a comfortable position and your back to be in the most correct position. For this to happen, always choose a quality chair and try to change it periodically as it loses its shape.

Battery

The forklift battery must also be replaced regularly. Once the battery is emptied, the forklift will not start or stop working, so replace the battery as soon as it gives you the first signs of failure. Otherwise, you will not be able to reach your goals in time.
