The kind of vehicle usually found in factories, warehouses and different work locations where moving heavy materials from one location to another is necessary is referred to as a forklift. The mast is the mechanism located on the front of the forklift that hydraulically lowers and raises the load. The "cat" is the protected area where the forklift operator sits.
Forklifts can carry loads that weigh between one to five tons. Several kinds could be used to raise shipping containers and much heavier loads.
Forklift tires must be checked and maintained on a regular basis. The types of tires on various forklifts differ based on factors like load weights, ground surfaces and frequency of use. Each and every driver of a forklift should have access to tire press, replacement tires and a forklift jack.
Tire Maintenance Instructions
Carry out tire inspections regularly. Watch for indications of damage and wear to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40 percent, it has to be replaced.
When you buy tires, be sure you buy the right kind - solid, pneumatic or polyurethane.
When you need to replace the tires, the forklift jack should be positioned under the tire. You could easily change the tires if you lift the forklift high enough.
In order to remove the damaged tire, pull the tire from the rim utilizing the tire press. Install the new tire and properly secure it. If you are changing more than one tire and you have just one jack, lower the forklift, then reposition the jack at the next tire.
A repair company could offer on-site tire repair. If the tire is too big for both mobile and in-house tire presses, the damaged tire should be transported to a shop which has a stationary tire press.
