Forklifts are vehicles normally found in factories, warehouses and various work locations where it is necessary to move heavy materials from one location to another. The mast is the mechanism located on the front of the forklift which hydraulically lowers and lifts the load. The "cat" is the area that is protected where the operator of the forklift sits.
Forklifts could lift loads that weigh between one to five tons. Several models can be used to raise shipping containers and loads which are a lot heavier.
Forklift tires should be maintained and checked regularly. The kinds of tires on various forklifts vary based on factors like frequency of use, weight of the loads and ground surfaces. Every operator of a forklift should have access to a forklift jack, tire press and replacement tires.
Tire Maintenance Instructions
Perform tire inspections regularly. Watch for indications of wear and damage to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40 percent, it should be replaced.
When buying tires, make certain that you are buying the correct kind - polyurethane, solid or pneumatic.
When you have to replace the tires, the forklift jack should be positioned under the tire. You could easily change the tires if you raise the forklift high enough.
You could utilize the tire press to pull the tire from the rim and remove the damaged tire. Install the new tire and secure it properly. If you are changing more than one tire and you just have one jack, lower the forklift, then reposition the jack at the next tire.
On-site tire repair can be performed by a repair company. If the tire is extremely big for both in-house and mobile tire presses, the damaged tire must be transported to a shop that has a stationary tire press.
