The kind of vehicle normally found in warehouses, factories and different work sites where moving heavy materials from one location to another is required is known as a forklift. The mast is the mechanism located on the front of the forklift that hydraulically lowers and raises the load. The "cat" is the protected area where the forklift operator sits.
Forklifts can carry loads that weigh between one to five tons. Various kinds could be used to carry shipping containers and loads that are a lot heavier.
Forklift tires should be checked and maintained regularly. The types of tires on different forklifts vary according to factors like for example ground surfaces, frequency of use and load weights. Each and every forklift driver must have access to tire press, replacement tires and a forklift jack.
Tire Maintenance Instructions
You should frequently inspect the tires. Watch for signs of damage and wear to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40 percent, it must be replaced.
When you buy tires, be sure you buy the correct kind - solid, pneumatic or polyurethane.
When you need to replace the tires, the forklift jack must be positioned under the tire. You could easily change the tires if you raise the forklift high enough.
You can use 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.
A repair company could offer on-site tire repair. If the tire is extremely big for both mobile and in-house tire presses, the damaged tire will have to be transported to a shop that has a stationary tire press.
