The lift truck truck is an extremely big and strong equipment able to work efficiently and smoothly, lifting and transporting things in material handling orientated jobs. A lot of components need to be replaced on regular basis due to damages and breakages.
The lift truck is a very versatile machinery, with a wide variety of accessories able to be fitted onto the machinery. These accessories could increase the lift truck's capabilities and expand the tasks they are often able to complete. Several of the major different forklift parts and accessories are described below.
Fork Extensions
The fork extensions are the forks on the lift truck. These forks are able to be changed completely, or various parts could be added to them so the truck could raise various types of cargo like for example baskets, rollers, telescopic loads, amongst others.
Forklift Seals and Bearings
The seals and bearings on the lift truck enable the inner workings on the equipment to operate optimally and efficiently. Bearings allow two moving components of the machinery to work together smoothly, without any friction. If not fitted properly, seals and bearings could sometimes wear down or even break and these components may need to be replaced periodically. If a bearing is the correct type of bearing used for the equipment and it is fitted properly, this forklift component could easily outlive the life expectancy of the whole machinery.
Cabs
The cab component of the lift truck truck is the section where the operator sits and controls the entire machinery. Based on the specific model, the cab can be open or it may have a roof. On a work place, this forklift component typically has a roof to lessen the risk of falling materials and comply with safety measures.
Brake Forklift Components
The brakes located on a forklift truck are required to be frequently checked in order to make certain that they are in safe working condition. Often, these parts should be replaced due to extended wear or damage.
Wheels and Tires
The tires and the wheels are the lift truck parts which are most often damaged. Problems happen due to slashes from rough and uneven floor boards and punctures from sharp objects on the floor.
