Lift truck trucks are really large and strong pieces of industrial machinery. In order for them to function smoothly and efficiently, hundreds of different components go into the manufacturing process. Numerous components have to be replaced regularly due to damages and breakages.
The lift truck is a really versatile machine, with a wide assortment of accessories able to be fitted onto the machines. These accessories could increase the lift truck's capabilities and expand the tasks they are regularly 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 could can be changed completely, or various components can be added to them so the truck could raise a range of different kinds of cargo including telescopic loads, baskets, rollers, amongst others.
Forklift Bearings and Seals
The bearings and seals on the lift truck allow the inner workings on the machinery to run efficiently and optimally. Bearings allow two moving components of the machine to smoothly work together, without any friction. If not correctly fitted, bearings and seals can occasionally wear down or even break and these components may need to be replaced occasionally. If a bearing is the correct kind of bearing for the equipment and it is fitted properly, this forklift component can easily outlive the life expectancy of the entire equipment.
Cabs
The forklift's cab is the section of the machine where the operator sits and performs maneuvers. The cab can be open or it may have a roof, depending on the specific model. On a work site, this forklift component typically has a roof to comply with safety measures and minimize the risk of falling materials.
Brake Forklift Parts
The brakes located on a forklift truck are required to be frequently checked in order to make certain that they are in safe working condition. Often, these parts must be replaced because of damage or extended wear.
Wheels and Tires
The wheels and the tires are the forklift components that are most often damaged. Problems happen due to slashes from rough and uneven floor boards and punctures from sharp things on the floor.
