Not like your personal vehicle, forklifts are not outfitted with suspension springs which give extra cushioning. Therefore, it is extremely important to replace worn tires or chunked tires that cause jarring impacts to the axle components, the driver, and to the wheel and load.

To ensure maximum lift truck performance, there are a lot of applications which depend on using right tires. You could just request an application survey from your local Cat forklift dealer, in order to guarantee that your material handling machinery has the correct tires. It is vital to remember that operating with worn forklift tires could cause premature wear to the bottom of the blades. Worn forks could really jeopardize the forklift's ability to lift. This situation creates an extremely unsafe and dangerous work environment.

When the heel on the forks is worn more than 10 percent, it is time to change the forks. In order to make sure that your equipment is safely operating, routine fork inspections are needed to make sure that your machinery is working with safe forks. These inspections are very vital to the safety of your operators in addition to anybody else working near the machine.

Riding the inching pedal is a bad habit which is unfortunately taken up by a lot of lift truck drivers. This inching pedal riding can lead to costly damage to the vehicle's transmission. To be able to prevent major component 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 enables the hydraulics to function at full speed. The brake pedal is utilized to frequently stop the lift truck when the hydraulics is not being utilized and is situated in the middle.
