The lift truck truck is an extremely big and powerful machine able to operate efficiently and smoothly, raising and transporting items in material handling orientated jobs. Numerous parts must be replaced on regular basis because of damages and breakages.
The forklift is a very versatile equipment, with a wide variety of accessories able to be fitted onto the machines. These accessories could increase the lift truck's capabilities and expand the tasks they are often able to finish. Some of the key different forklift accessories and components are described below.
Fork Extensions
Blade extensions are designed to fit over the forklift's standard forks. These forks are able to be changed entirely, or different components can be added to them so the truck could lift a range of different kinds of cargo such as telescopic loads, baskets, rollers, among others.
Forklift Seals and Bearings
The bearings and seals on the lift truck allow the inner workings on the equipment to function efficiently and optimally. Bearings enable two moving parts of the machine to work together smoothly, without any friction. If not correctly fitted, bearings and seals can occasionally wear down or even break and these parts may need to be replaced periodically. If a bearing is the correct kind of bearing used for the equipment and it is fitted correctly, this particular forklift component can easily outlive the life expectancy of the whole machinery.
Cabs
The cab component of the lift truck truck is the portion where the operator sits and controls the whole machine. Depending on the specific unit, the cab could be open or it can have a roof. On a work site, this forklift component usually has a roof to reduce the risk of falling materials and comply with safety reasons.
Brake Forklift Parts
The brakes situated on a forklift truck are required to be frequently checked in order to make certain that they are in safe working condition. Often, these parts should be replaced because of damage or extended wear.
Wheels and Tires
The tires and the wheels are the forklift components which are most normally damaged. Problems occur because of punctures from sharp things on the floor and slashes from uneven and rough floor boards.
