Forklift maintenance is very extensive and covers a variety of aspects, including routine inspections, regular maintenance, lubricants maintenance and special attention. Following are the maintenance elements of the forklift that are clearly identified and summarized:
I. Daily inspections
Oil spot checks: ensure that oil levels, such as fuel tanks, hydraulic tanks and gear tanks, are within normal limits. If low levels of oil are found, they should be replenished in a timely manner。
Tyre examination: examination of tyre pressure, wear and injury, including cracks, and timely treatment of problems。
Lighting and alarm inspection: ensure that the lights, switchlights, back-of-the-car alarms, etc. Are working properly and that failure should be repaired in a timely manner。
Meter checks: checks whether the various instrument instructions on the dashboard are normal and should be addressed in a timely manner。
Forklifts and chain checks: check if the fork is deformed, worn, loose or worn, and if abnormal, should be processed in a timely manner。
Regular maintenance
Replacement oils and filters: the oils and filters are periodically replaced at intervals recommended by the manufacturer in order to keep the engines operational。
Examination of hydraulic systems: check whether hydraulic fluids are clean, whether there are leaks in hydraulic pipelines and whether hydraulic pumps and hydraulic motors have abnormal noise or vibrations。
Replacement of air filters: regular replacement of air filters to prevent dust and impurities from entering engines。
Inspection of electrical systems: check whether wires, plugs, switches, etc. Are broken or loose, and whether batteries need to be recharged or replaced。
Adjustments and strangulations: necessary adjustments and hardening of all sections to ensure the proper functioning of the forklift。
Iii. Lubrication maintenance
Gear and tilt tank lubrication: regular lubrication of the door frame and tilt tank to reduce wear and maintain normal operation。
Chains and axle lubrication: regular lubrication chains and axle sales to reduce wear and prevent erosion。
Axle bearings and gear lubrication: lubrication of bearings and gears at various locations to reduce wear and tear and to increase transmission efficiency。
Brakes and clutch lubricators: lubricating brakes and clutches to ensure their normal operation and extended useful life。
Special attention
Safety first: security protocols must always be observed to ensure the safety of staff while maintaining work。
Use appropriate tools: use appropriate tools to perform maintenance work and avoid damage or accidental injury by using inappropriate tools。
Comply with the manufacturer's guidance manual: in carrying out maintenance work, the manufacturer's guidance manual and recommendations should be followed to ensure the proper operation and extended useful life of forklifts。
Regular maintenance: periodic maintenance should be performed at intervals recommended by the manufacturer to ensure the performance and safety of the forklift。
