The lift truck truck is an extremely big and strong machinery able to operate smoothly and efficiently, raising and moving things within material handling orientated jobs. Many parts should be replaced regularly due to damages and breakages.
Forklifts are really versatile machinery. A range of different accessories could be fitted onto the machinery in order to increase their capabilities and expand the tasks they are regularly able to finish. Several of the key different forklift accessories and components are described below.
Fork Extensions
Fork extensions are designed to fit over the forklift's regular forks. These forks are able to be changed completely, or different components could be added to them so the truck can lift a variety of different kinds of loads like for instance rollers, telescopic loads, baskets, among others.
Forklift Bearings and Seals
The seals and bearings on the lift truck allow the inner workings on the machine to run optimally and efficiently. Bearings allow two moving parts of the machinery to smoothly work together, without any friction. If not correctly fitted, seals and bearings could occasionally break and wear down and these components might have to be replaced periodically. If a bearing is the proper type of bearing used for the machinery and it is properly fitted, this particular forklift component can easily outlive the life expectancy of the whole equipment.
Cabs
The cab part of the forklift truck is the section where the operator sits and controls the entire machinery. Depending upon the specific model, the cab could be open or it may have a roof. On a work site, this forklift component usually has a roof to comply with safety measures and minimize the risk of falling materials.
Brake Forklift Components
Forklifts trucks have brakes which are required to be frequently checked in order to ensure they are in good working condition. Often, these components would need to be replaced because of extended wear or damage.
Wheels and Tires
The tires and the wheels are the forklift parts that are most normally damaged. Problems occur due to punctures from sharp objects on the floor and slashes from rough and uneven floor boards.
