10 Simple Ways To Effectively Reduce The Cost of Forklift Use (1)

Forklift maintenance can effectively extend the life of the forklift, and it is also a guarantee of safe work, so that your forklift can be in the best working condition at any time. In some logistics distribution centers and warehouses that require extremely high logistics efficiency, due to the large daily shipment volume, in order to reduce logistics costs, forklifts are almost in a 24-hour working state, so how can we perform simple maintenance on the forklift to ensure our work efficiency? Noelift has prepared 10 simple and easy methods for you:

1. Frequently replace tires that are easy to wear. This is a must-do job, just like a sports car. Due to full-load work, the tires are very worn, so the sports car must have better tires after a race, so that it can continue to race. The same is true for forklifts, such as internal combustion forklifts and electric forklifts. Tires are used in this way, and excessive wear or fragmentation of tires will make the forklift unstable during work and produce huge vibrations, which is very harmful to the electrical system and hydraulic system. Therefore, when we choose Tianli forklifts, in addition to choosing more wear-resistant tires, we should also pay attention to the material and type of wheels when choosing forklifts, whether shock-absorbing wheels or road wheels and tires are needed, and what characteristics their materials and hardness have (for example: polyurethane wheels are often used for indoor forklifts, such as electric transport trucks and electric stackers, because they are wear-resistant and have low working noise, while shock-absorbing wheels are used in working conditions where the ground is not very flat.)

2. Keep the forklift working environment clean, and pay attention to the cleaning of the forklift itself. Forklifts work in environments such as warehouses and production workshops, etc., which generally have some debris such as wooden pallet fragments, plastic wrap, garbage, rags, production waste, etc. How these debris are entangled in the wheels or tires of forklifts, especially manual transport trucks and manual stackers, will have a profound impact on work efficiency, so more inspections should be carried out to promptly remove the impact of these debris on the work of the forklift, and the floor of the forklift workplace should be cleaned frequently, and even plastic pallets or metal pallets should be considered instead of wooden pallets.

3. Add hydraulic oil and lubricating oil in time. Forklift machinery needs more maintenance. Insufficient hydraulic oil will cause the forklift to fail to reach its rated height and rated load, which will also affect work efficiency.

4. Operate the forklift according to the forklift operation manual. Do not operate it incorrectly. Misoperation may damage the forklift at the least and cause a forklift accident at the worst.
