Forklift use, by the internal structure of the change and the influence of external factors, will make the internal parts of the vehicle subject to wear and tear, loose, deformation and other situations, long-term easy to lead to the occurrence of accidental failures, serious and even the existence of safety issues, while greatly increasing the use of forklift costs.

 

Simple and easy tips to reduce the cost of forklift usage.

Forklift use, by the internal structure of the change and the influence of external factors, will make the internal parts of the vehicle subject to wear and tear, loose, deformation and other situations, long-term easy to lead to the occurrence of accidental failures, serious and even the existence of safety issues, while greatly increasing the use of forklift costs.


Therefore, the current user in the use of forklifts has become more and more important and car maintenance, scientific and reasonable maintenance can not only effectively extend the life of the forklift, but also a guarantee of safe work, you can let your forklift at any time in the best working condition, thus reducing the use of cost. In some of the workload is very large, the forklift is almost in the case of 24-hour work, how do we come to the forklift to carry out simple maintenance to protect the efficiency of reducing the use of cost?

 

Caveats:

1. Replacing tires that are prone to wear and tear is a must. Sports car in the race due to full load work, tire wear is very serious, so the race run a section must replace the tires, so as to continue to race, forklift trucks are the same, tire wear or breakage will make the forklift trucks in the process of work is not smooth, produce huge vibration, this is on the electrical system and the hydraulic system has a lot of harm. Therefore, we must replace the worn tires in time, so as not to cause other failures and increase the cost of use.


2. To keep the working environment of the forklift clean, and at the same time pay attention to the cleanliness of the forklift itself. Forklift working environment often have some debris such as wooden pallet pieces, cling film, garbage, rags, production waste, etc., these debris if wrapped around the forklift wheels or tires, especially handling trucks and other polyurethane tires, it will have a far-reaching impact on the efficiency of the work, so we should check more, timely removal of these debris on the forklift impact of the work, but also to often clean the ground of the forklift workplace, or even consider using plastic pallets or metal pallets, or even consider using plastic pallets or metal pallets. Even consider using plastic pallets or metal pallets to replace wooden pallets.


3. add hydraulic oil and lubricating oil in time, forklift machinery needs more maintenance, and insufficient hydraulic oil will lead to the forklift can not reach its rated height and rated load, affecting the efficiency of the work; timely drainage of the oil-water separator, with the improvement of the national environmental protection requirements, all the internal combustion forklift trucks are equipped with oil-water separator, such as timely discharge of the oil-water separator of the water in the serious will directly lead to engine damage.


4. operate the forklift in accordance with the forklift operation manual, do not misoperate, misoperation will damage the forklift, or lead to forklift accidents.


5. Reduce impact damage, in too narrow aisles, be careful, it is best to arrange for trained forklift drivers to work in this type of environment, and pay attention to the surrounding environment and vehicles of all kinds of lights, to avoid collision accidents and so on.


6. more time to train your forklift operators, teach them common sense safety, which can reduce the rate of damage to the forklift itself and the goods, but also can significantly reduce the failure rate of forklifts and the probability of accidents.


7. Arrange preventive maintenance, it is best to develop a maintenance program, regular maintenance and maintenance of forklifts, in the long run, the development of maintenance programs and implementation can save a lot of money, you can prevent the failure of major components, but also eliminates the need for many costly repairs to extend the life of your forklift.

 

8. To have a strict forklift management system, when the forklift is not in use, please unplug the key to avoid unnecessary damage caused by other non-operators misuse. To tell the operator in the forklift process, for some narrow aisle, must first get off to measure the width of the aisle, to estimate the forklift and cargo can be safely passed.


9. After each day's work, take some time to listen to the forklift's "sound", because the forklift is often in full load working condition, so to ensure that the next day can work normally, please listen to the forklift's working sound to ensure that it is normal, whether it can be used tomorrow.


10. Training on battery maintenance and battery charging is a must. Forklift battery is very important, most of the batteries used nowadays are non-maintenance-free lead-acid batteries, which need to be maintained by specialized personnel. Pay attention to check the distilled water of forklift trucks from time to time, and if it is insufficient, please replenish it in time, otherwise, it will affect the life of the batteries; charging is completed in time to make the charger disconnected, or it will lead to the damage of the charger. Because of the special nature of the battery, so it is best to train your forklift operators to avoid improper maintenance of the battery, resulting in expensive maintenance costs.
