Service or Product Solutions, Worn Tires, Abuse Items
Forklifts, unlike your personal vehicle, are not equipped with suspension springs which give additional cushioning. Therefore, it is extremely vital to replace worn tires or chunked tires which cause jarring impacts to the axle parts, the driver, and load and to the wheel.

There are numerous demanding applications which rely on utilizing the correct tires to guarantee maximum lift truck performance. In order to guarantee that your material handling machine has the correct tires, just request an application survey from your local Cat forklift dealer. It is really important not to forget that operating with worn forklift tires may result in premature wear to the bottom of the tines. Forks which are worn could greatly jeopardize the ability of the forklift 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 ensure that your equipment is safely operating, routine fork inspections are needed to make certain that your equipment is functioning with safe forks. These inspections are very essential to the safety of your operators as well as anybody else working in close proximity to the machine.

Unfortunately, numerous lift truck drivers have taken up the bad habit of riding the inching pedal. This can cause costly damage to the vehicle's transmission. In order to prevent major component failure from happening, only utilize the inching pedal when you wish to apply the brakes while the engine is revving and are approaching a rack. This allows the hydraulics to function at full speed. The brake pedal is located in the middle and is used to regularly stop the lift truck when the hydraulics is not being used.

Impact Damage
