The kind of vehicle usually found in warehouses, factories and other work locations where moving heavy materials from one location to another is necessary is referred to as a forklift. The mast is the mechanism situated on the front of the forklift that hydraulically lifts and lowers the load. The "cat" is the protected area where the forklift operator sits.
Forklifts are capable of lifting loads between one and five tons in weight. Various types could be used to lift shipping containers and much heavier loads.
Forklift tires must be checked and maintained regularly. The types of tires on different forklifts differ based on factors like for example ground surfaces, frequency of use and weight of the loads. Each and every forklift driver 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 indications of damage and wear to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40 percent, it should be replaced.
When buying tires, ensure that you are buying the correct type - polyurethane, solid or pneumatic.
When you need to replace the tires, the forklift jack should be positioned under the tire. You can easily change the tires if you lift the forklift high enough.
You can utilize 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 only have one jack, lower the forklift, and then reposition the jack at the next tire.
On-site tire repair can be performed by a repair company. If the tire is too big for both mobile and in-house tire presses, the tire that is damaged should be transported to a shop which has a stationary tire press.
