Forklifts play a crucial role in logistics and transportation in many industries. To ensure the good operation of forklifts, extend their service life and improve work efficiency and safety, attention must be paid to maintenance.
Before starting work every day, conduct an appearance inspection first. Check whether the forklift has obvious damage, deformation or oil leakage. Pay particular attention to parts such as forks, masts, and tires to ensure they are in good condition because these parts are related to the safety and efficiency of forklift operations. Then conduct an oil inspection. Check whether the levels of engine oil, hydraulic oil, brake fluid, etc. are normal. If the level is low, add the corresponding oil in time. At the same time, observe the color and transparency of the oil. If there is any abnormality, it needs to be replaced. A good oil state is the guarantee for the normal operation of all systems of the forklift. Tire inspection cannot be ignored. Ensure that the tire pressure is normal, without damage and excessive wear. Inflate in time if the pressure is insufficient. Replace in time if there is a problem to ensure the stability and maneuverability of the forklift. Brake system inspection is also crucial. Test the braking performance to ensure it is sensitive and reliable. Check the wear of the brake pads and replace them when necessary. Also check whether there is any leakage in the brake fluid pipeline. The inspection of lights and horns is also important. Ensure they work normally so that warning signals can be issued in time during operation to improve safety.
According to the requirements of the forklift operation manual, replace the engine oil and filter regularly. Generally, replace them every about 500 working hours to ensure the good operation of the engine. Cleaning the air filter is also very necessary. Clean it regularly to ensure the air intake quality of the engine. Replace it in time if it is severely blocked. Check the hydraulic system. Check whether there is any leakage in parts such as pipelines, joints, and cylinders. Check the cleanliness and quality of hydraulic oil and replace it when necessary. Lubricating parts is also indispensable. Regularly lubricate lubrication points such as mast guides, chains, and bearings. Use suitable lubricating oil to ensure good effect and reduce wear. Adjust the mast and forks. Regularly check parameters such as gaps and verticality. Adjust if necessary to ensure stability and reliability.
If the forklift needs to be stored for a long time, it should be cleaned and coated with anti-rust oil and stored in a dry and ventilated place. Remove the battery and store it in a dry and safe place and charge it regularly. For winter maintenance, use engine oil, hydraulic oil and coolant suitable for low temperatures to prevent difficult starting or damage. Keep the battery warm to prevent performance degradation. For summer maintenance, prevent overheating. Increase the frequency of radiator cleaning to ensure good heat dissipation. Avoid long-term operation during high temperature periods to prevent damage.
Some inspiration can be obtained from the used excavator market. The prosperity of the used excavator market is due to good maintenance. When buying a used excavator, people pay attention to the maintenance records, appearance conditions and wear of key parts. For used forklifts, good maintenance records and conditions will also increase market value. When used excavator dealers sell used excavators, they will conduct strict detection and evaluation to ensure performance and quality. Forklift used dealers should also do so. When acquiring used forklifts, carefully check the maintenance status and deal with places that need maintenance to improve quality and reliability. In addition, the after-sales service of the used excavator market is also worth learning from. Used forklift dealers can provide similar services, such as equipment maintenance and maintenance guidance, so that customers have no worries after buying used forklifts.
In short, paying attention to forklift maintenance and combining the inspiration of the used excavator market can effectively extend the service life of forklifts, improve work efficiency and safety. At the same time, used forklift dealers can also improve market value and meet customer needs through high-quality services.
