The forklift truck is an extremely large and strong machinery able to work smoothly and efficiently, raising and moving items in material handling orientated tasks. Many components should be replaced on regular basis because of breakages and damages.
The forklift is a very versatile equipment, with a wide variety of accessories able to be fitted onto the machinery. These accessories could increase the lift truck's capabilities and expand the tasks they are regularly able to complete. Several of the major different forklift accessories and components are described below.
Fork Extensions
Fork extensions are made to fit over the forklift's standard forks. These forks could can be changed entirely, or different components can be added to them so the truck could raise various kinds of loads including rollers, telescopic loads, baskets, among others.
Forklift Seals and Bearings
The bearings and seals are particular forklift components which allow the inner workings of the machinery to run in an optimum and efficient way. Bearings enable two moving parts of the equipment to work together smoothly, without any friction. If not fitted correctly, seals and bearings can sometimes break and wear down and these parts might need to be replaced occasionally. If a bearing is the proper type of bearing for the equipment and it is fitted correctly, this forklift component could easily outlive the life expectancy of the entire apparatus.
Cabs
The forklift's cab is the part of the machine where the operator sits and performs maneuvers. The cab may be open or it could have a roof, based upon the particular unit. On a work site, this lift truck component typically has a roof to lessen the risk of falling materials and comply with safety measures.
Brake Forklift Components
The brakes located on a lift truck truck are required to be frequently checked in order to make certain that they are in safe working condition. usually, these parts will need to be replaced because of extended wear or damage.
Tires and Wheels
The lift trucks tires and wheels are the parts most often damaged. Problems happen due to slashes from uneven and rough floor boards and punctures from sharp objects on the floor.
