Cleaning the forklift: Regularly clean the external and internal parts of the forklift, including cleaning oil from the tank's heat sinks, multi-way valves, and transmission surfaces, cleaning sludge from the door frames, cleaning corrosion from the battery surfaces and terminals, and cleaning the air compartment. Also, make sure you clean the internal parts of the forklift such as the seat, dashboard and console.
Check Fluid Levels: Forklifts use a hydraulic system to lift loads, so it's critical to maintain the correct level of hydraulic fluid. Regularly check the level of the hydraulic tank and add or replace hydraulic fluid as needed. Also, check and replace hydraulic filters to ensure the hydraulic system is working properly. In addition, check the level positions of engine oil and battery water to ensure they are within normal ranges.
TIRE MAINTENANCE: The tires on a forklift are an important part of the forklift that is subject to heavy loads and driving pressure. Regularly check tire wear and rotate or replace tires as needed to ensure the stability and safety of your forklift. At the same time, ensuring proper tire inflation pressure can improve the efficiency and handling of the forklift.
Battery Maintenance: For electric forklifts, the battery is the source of power, so it is critical to properly maintain the battery. Regularly check the battery charge and voltage, and make sure the battery terminals and connecting wires are clean and tight. In addition, check the battery level regularly and add distilled water as needed.
Bearing Lubrication: The bearings of a forklift truck are critical moving parts that require regular lubrication to minimize friction and wear.
In addition, you should pay attention to observe the working condition of the forklift's instrument indicator during operation, as well as any abnormal rattles, smells and changes in water temperature during driving. This helps to find and solve problems in time to ensure the normal operation of the forklift.
Overall, routine maintenance of forklift trucks involves a number of aspects, including cleaning, inspection, replacement and lubrication. These measures help keep forklifts in good condition and improve their efficiency and service life. At the same time, depending on the type of forklift and the environment in which it is used, specific maintenance measures may also be required. Therefore, it is recommended to refer to the operation manual of the forklift truck or consult professional maintenance personnel for more detailed maintenance instructions.
