Forklifts are also cars and need maintenance
Because the forklift is widely used and its frequency is very high. We may not have known the maintenance specifications of forklifts because of work or time, so forklifts have frequent failures.
We all know that the car we usually drive needs routine inspection and maintenance after running many kilometers to prevent us from malfunctioning during driving.
Forklift is also a car. Forklift is a good helper to accompany us in our work. If necessary, it is also necessary to regularly carry out some routine daily maintenance for the forklift. Only in this way can the service life of the forklift be extended and the failure rate of the forklift be reduced.
What are the main types of forklift maintenance?
Maintenance before driving:
Check whether the oil, fuel and cooling water are sufficient, and whether each part of the vehicle has water leakage, oil leakage and air leakage. Check whether the bolts and nuts of the tire, half shaft, transmission shaft and other parts are fastened. Check whether the connecting parts of the steering mechanism are fastened and reliable.
Check whether the tire pressure meets the specified standard. Check whether the free stroke of steering wheel and clutch pedal meets the requirements. Check the braking system and driving system. Check whether the instrument, light and horn are in good condition, and observe whether the engine operates normally.
Maintenance during driving:
During driving, check whether there is abnormal sound at various parts of the engine and chassis, and pay attention to whether there is burnt smell.
Always pay attention to the working conditions of steering system and braking system. Observe whether various instruments work normally. Check whether the wheel hub, brake hub, gearbox, differential, etc. are overheated.
Check whether the leaf spring is broken, loose or misaligned. Check whether the connections of all parts of the steering mechanism are firm and reliable. Pay attention to whether the tire has serious air leakage, loose swing or explosion sound.
Stop and check on the way to check whether there is water leakage, oil leakage or air leakage at all parts of the vehicle
Maintenance after collection:
Clean the inside and outside of the vehicle. Check whether the leaf spring is broken, loose or misaligned. Check whether the connecting parts and hanging devices of all assemblies and components are firm and reliable.
Check for oil leakage, water leakage and air leakage, and supplement fuel, lubricating oil, brake fluid and battery water.
For vehicles equipped with a scraper type oil strainer, turn the handle clockwise for gears 2 ~ 3. Check the tire pressure and appearance, and remove the sundries embedded in the tread. Drain the water and oil in the gas reservoir and turn off the switch.
Check the condition of the cooling system. Pay attention to draining water to prevent freezing in winter in severe cold areas.
After reading so many forklift maintenance knowledge, do you think your strength has increased greatly. With the maintenance skills of these forklifts, we no longer have to worry about frequent forklift failures. Moreover, regular inspection and maintenance of forklifts also guarantee our work and life safety.
Of course, if you want to know more about forklift examination, training, safe driving, operating skills and so on. Please continue to pay attention to the websites of developed schools, and let us escort your work and life.
