Abuse Items, Product or Service Solutions, Worn Tires
Unlike your personal vehicle, forklifts are not outfitted with suspension springs that give extra cushioning. Hence, it is extremely important to replace chunked tires or worn tires that cause jarring impacts to the operator, the axle parts, and load and to the wheel.

To ensure maximum forklift performance, there are numerous applications that rely on using right tires. You could simply request an application survey from your local Cat lift truck dealer, in order to ensure that your material handling equipment has the proper tires. It is very important to remember that operating with worn lift truck tires may result in premature wear to the bottom of the forks. Worn forks can greatly jeopardize the forklift's ability to lift. This situation creates a dangerous and awfully unsafe work environment.

It is time to change the tines, when the fork's heel is worn more than 10 percent. Routine fork inspections are required in order to make sure that your equipment is safely operating and that your equipment is functioning with safe forks. These inspections are really essential to the safety of your operators along with anybody else working near the machine.

Unfortunately, a lot of forklift 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 part failure from occurring, just utilize the inching pedal when you are approaching a rack and wish to apply the brakes while the engine is revving. This enables the hydraulics to function at full speed. The brake pedal is utilized to frequently stop the forklift when the hydraulics is not being used and is situated in the middle.

Impact Damage
There are major parts including wheels, tires, forks, body panels, attachments and brackets that suffer greatly anytime a lift truck encounters impact to its product or to its surrounding while traveling at high speeds.

In addition to assigning machinery to an operator, you will find specific products available to help lessen product damage including keyless access systems, vehicle speed limiter and impact monitor.
