Abuse Items, Product or Service Solutions, Worn Tires
Forklifts, not like your personal vehicle, are not equipped with suspension springs that give extra cushioning. Hence, it is very essential to replace worn tires or chunked tires which cause jarring impacts to the axle components, the operator, and load and to the wheel.

There are many demanding applications which rely upon using the proper tires to ensure maximum lift truck performance. In order to guarantee that your material handling machinery has the right tires, simply request an application survey from your local Cat forklift dealer. It is very important not to forget that operating with worn forklift tires may cause premature wear to the bottom of the tines. Worn forks can greatly jeopardize the ability of the lift truck to lift. This situation creates an awfully 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 certain that your machine is safely working, routine fork inspections are required to make certain that your equipment is working with safe forks. These inspections are really vital to the safety of your operators as well as anybody else working near the machinery.

Riding the inching pedal is a bad habit that is unfortunately taken up by a lot of forklift operators. This inching pedal riding could result in expensive damage to the vehicle's transmission. In order to avoid 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 allows the hydraulics to work at full speed. The brake pedal is located in the middle and is used to frequently stop the forklift when the hydraulics is not being used.
