The lift truck truck is an extremely large and strong equipment able to function efficiently and smoothly, lifting and transporting objects within material handling orientated jobs. Numerous parts should be replaced on regular basis because of breakages and damages.
The lift truck is a very versatile machinery, with a wide variety of accessories able to be fitted onto the machinery. These accessories can increase the lift truck's capabilities and expand the jobs they are often able to finish. Some of the major different forklift components and accessories are described below.
Fork Extensions
Fork extensions are designed to fit over the forklift's regular forks. These forks could can be changed completely, or various components could be added to them so the truck could lift a variety of different kinds of cargo including telescopic loads, baskets, rollers, amongst others.
Forklift Seals and Bearings
The bearings and seals on the forklift enable the inner workings on the equipment to run optimally and efficiently. Bearings allow two moving parts of the machinery to work together smoothly, without any friction. If not fitted correctly, seals and bearings can occasionally break and wear down and these components might need to be replaced periodically. If a bearing is the correct type of bearing used for the machine and it is properly fitted, this specific lift truck part can easily outlive the life expectancy of the entire apparatus.
Cabs
The forklift's cab is the section of the machine where the operator sits and performs maneuvers. The cab could be open or it could have a roof, based upon the particular model. On a work place, this lift truck component typically has a roof to lessen the risk of falling materials and comply with safety reasons.
Brake Forklift Parts
The brakes located on a forklift truck are required to be regularly checked in order to make certain that they are in safe working condition. Normally, these parts should be replaced because of extended wear or damage.
Tires and Wheels
The tires and the wheels are the lift truck parts which are most normally damaged. Problems occur due to punctures from sharp objects on the floor and slashes from rough and uneven floor boards.
