Lift truck trucks are extremely big and powerful pieces of industrial equipment. In order for them to function efficiently and smoothly, hundreds of various components go into the manufacturing process. Numerous parts must be replaced on regular basis because of damages and breakages.
Forklifts are very versatile equipment. A range of different accessories can be fitted onto the equipment in order to increase their capabilities and expand the jobs they are often able to complete. Some of the key different forklift accessories and parts are described below.
Fork Extensions
The fork extensions are the forks on the lift truck. These forks are able to be changed entirely, or different parts could be added to them so the truck can raise a variety of different kinds of cargo including rollers, telescopic loads, baskets, among others.
Forklift Seals and Bearings
The seals and bearings are particular forklift components that allow the inner workings of the machine to function in an efficient and optimum manner. Bearings enable two moving components of the equipment to work together smoothly, without any friction. If not fitted correctly, bearings and seals can sometimes wear down or even break and these components might need to be replaced occasionally. If a bearing is the correct type of bearing used for the machine and it is fitted properly, this forklift component could easily outlive the life expectancy of the whole equipment.
Cabs
The forklift's cab is the part of the machine where the operator sits and performs maneuvers. The cab may be open or it may have a roof, based on the specific unit. On a work place, this lift truck part usually has a roof to comply with safety measures and lessen the risk of falling materials.
Brake Forklift Parts
Lift trucks trucks have brakes which are required to be regularly checked in order to ensure they are in good working condition. Normally, these components must be replaced due to damage or extended wear.
Wheels and Tires
The wheels and the tires are the lift truck parts that are most normally damaged. Problems happen due to slashes from uneven and rough floor boards and punctures from sharp things on the floor.
