The kind of vehicle normally found inside factories, warehouses and various work sites where moving heavy materials from one location to another is necessary is referred to as a forklift. The mast is the mechanism located on the front of the forklift which hydraulically lowers and raises the load. The "cat" is the protected area where the forklift driver sits.
Forklifts are capable of carrying loads between one and five tons in weight. Some models could be utilized to raise shipping containers and loads that are a lot heavier.
Forklift tires should be maintained and checked regularly. The types of tires on various forklifts vary according to factors such as ground surfaces, frequency of use and weight of the loads. Every operator of a forklift must have access to tire press, replacement tires and a forklift jack.
Tire Maintenance Instructions
Carry out tire inspections on a regular basis. Watch for signs of wear and damage to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40 percent, it needs to be replaced.
When you buy tires, be certain you buy the right type - pneumatic, polyurethane or solid.
When the tire needs replacing, position the forklift jack under the tire and lift the forklift high enough that you could easily change the tires.
You could use the tire press to pull the tire from the rim and remove the damaged tire. Install the new tire and properly secure it. 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 could be performed by a repair company. If the tire is extremely big for both in-house and mobile tire presses, the tire that is damaged must be transported to a shop that has a stationary tire press.
