Forklifts are vehicles usually found in warehouses, factories and various work locations where it is necessary to move heavy materials from one location to another. The mast is the mechanism situated on the front of the forklift that hydraulically lifts and lowers the load. The "cat" is the area that is protected where the driver of the forklift sits.
Forklifts could lift loads which weigh between one to five tons. Several models can be utilized to lift shipping containers and loads which are a lot heavier.
The tires of a forklift must be inspected and maintained regularly. The kinds of tires on different forklifts vary according to factors like ground surfaces, frequency of use and load weights. Each and every forklift driver must have access to tire press, replacement tires and a forklift jack.
Tire Maintenance Instructions
Carry out tire inspections regularly. Watch for signs of wear and damage to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40 percent, it should be replaced.
When buying tires, make certain that you are buying the correct kind - pneumatic, polyurethane or solid.
When the tire needs replacing, position the forklift jack under the tire and lift the forklift high enough that you can change the tires easily.
You could utilize the tire press to pull the tire from the rim and remove the damaged tire. Install the new tire and secure it well. 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.
On-site tire repair can be performed by a repair company. If the tire is too large for both in-house and mobile tire presses, the tire which is damaged should be transported to a shop which has a stationary tire press.
