The lift truck truck is an extremely big and powerful equipment able to work efficiently and smoothly, raising and moving objects in material handling orientated jobs. Lots of parts must be replaced regularly because of breakages and damages.
The lift truck is a very versatile machine, 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 jobs they are regularly 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 forklift. These forks are able to be changed entirely, or different components can be added to them so the truck could lift a range of different kinds of cargo including rollers, telescopic loads, baskets, among others.
Forklift Seals and Bearings
The bearings and seals on the forklift enable the inner workings on the machinery to run optimally and efficiently. Bearings allow two moving components of the machine to smoothly work together, without any friction. If not correctly fitted, bearings and seals could occasionally wear down or even break and these parts may have to be replaced periodically. If a bearing is the correct type of bearing used for the machinery and it is fitted properly, this specific forklift component can easily outlive the life expectancy of the entire equipment.
Cabs
The forklift's cab is the part of the equipment where the operator sits and performs maneuvers. The cab can be open or it could have a roof, depending upon the particular unit. On a work site, this lift truck component typically has a roof to minimize the risk of falling materials and comply with safety measures.
Brake Forklift Components
The brakes located on a lift truck truck are required to be regularly checked in order to make certain that they are in safe working condition. Normally, these components must be replaced due to extended wear or damage.
Tires and Wheels
The forklifts tires and wheels are the components most often damaged. Problems occur because of punctures from sharp things on the floor and slashes from uneven and rough floor boards.
