Forks
Regularly check for cracks, bends, or excessive wear, as damaged forks can compromise safety and load stability.
Mast and Chains
Inspect for signs of wear, damage, or misalignment. Chains should be lubricated and checked for proper tension to ensure smooth mast operation.
Hydraulic Cylinders and Hoses
Look for leaks, damage, or corrosion. Proper hydraulic function is essential for lifting and steering.
Tires
Replace worn or damaged tires to ensure proper traction/stability - especially important for rough terrain forklifts.
Brakes
Regularly inspect and replace brake pads or shoes, and check the brake fluid levels to ensure reliable stopping power.
Batteries
In electric forklifts, monitor battery condition and replace it when performance deteriorates to maintain operational efficiency.
Lights and Indicators
Ensure that all lights, alarms and indicators are functioning properly to maintain visibility and alert operators of any issues.
Belts and Cables
Replace worn or frayed belts and cables to prevent mechanical failures and maintain smooth operation.
