Worn Tires, Abuse Items, Product or Service Solutions
Unlike your personal vehicle, forklifts are not outfitted with suspension springs that give 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 load and to the wheel.

To guarantee maximum lift truck performance, there are actually a lot of applications that rely upon utilizing correct tires. You can simply request an application survey from your local Cat forklift dealer, in order to ensure that your material handling equipment has the correct tires. It is vital to remember that operating with worn lift truck tires may cause premature wear to the bottom of the blades. Worn forks can really jeopardize the ability of the lift truck to lift. This kind of situation creates a dangerous and extremely unsafe work surrounding.

It is time to change the blades, when the fork's heel is worn more than 10%. Routine fork inspections are required in order to make sure that your machinery is safely functioning and that your machine is working with safe forks. These inspections are important to the safety of your drivers as well as anyone else working near the machinery.

Riding the inching pedal is a bad habit which is sadly taken up by a lot of lift truck drivers. This inching pedal riding can cause costly damage to the vehicle's transmission. To be able to avoid major part failure from happening, just use the inching pedal when you are approaching a rack and wish to apply the brakes while the engine is revving. This allows the hydraulics to function at full speed. The brake pedal is used to frequently stop the forklift when the hydraulics is not being used and is located in the middle.

Impact Damage
There are major parts like tires, wheels, forks, body panels, backrests and attachments 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 equipment to an operator, you will find specific products available to help reduce product damage including vehicle speed limiter, impact monitor, and keyless access systems.
