The type of vehicle normally found in warehouses, factories and different work locations where moving heavy materials from one location to another is required is known as a forklift. The mast is the mechanism located on the front of the forklift that hydraulically lowers and raises the load. The "cat" is the area which is protected where the forklift operator sits.
Forklifts can lift loads that weigh between one to five tons. Several kinds could be used to raise shipping containers and much heavier loads.
Forklift tires should be checked and maintained regularly. The kinds of tires on various forklifts vary according to factors like for example frequency of use, load weights and ground surfaces. Each and every forklift driver must have access to a forklift jack, tire press and replacement tires.
Tire Maintenance Instructions
You should frequently check the tires. Watch for indications of damage and wear to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40 percent, it has to be replaced.
When purchasing tires, make certain that you are buying the right type - polyurethane, solid or pneumatic.
When you have to replace the tires, the forklift jack must be positioned under the tire. You can easily change the tires if you lift the forklift high enough.
In order to remove the damaged tire, pull the tire from the rim using the tire press. Install the new tire and secure it properly. If you are changing more than one tire and you have just one jack, lower the forklift, and afterward reposition the jack at the next tire.
On-site tire repair can be performed by a repair company. If the tire is extremely large for both mobile and in-house tire presses, the damaged tire would have to be transported to a shop that has a stationary tire press.
