The forklift truck is an extremely big and powerful equipment able to function efficiently and smoothly, raising and moving things in material handling orientated tasks. Lots of components should be replaced on regular basis due to breakages and damages.
Forklifts are really versatile equipment. A range of different accessories are able to be fitted onto the machinery in order to increase their capabilities and expand the tasks they are often able to complete. Some of the main different forklift accessories and parts are described below.
Fork Extensions
Fork extensions are designed to fit over the forklift's regular forks. These forks are able to be changed entirely, or different parts could be added to them so the truck can raise a range of different types of loads such as baskets, rollers, telescopic loads, among others.
Forklift Seals and Bearings
The bearings and seals are particular forklift components that enable the inner workings of the machine to operate in an efficient and optimum way. Bearings enable two moving parts of the machine to smoothly work together, without any friction. If not fitted correctly, bearings and seals can occasionally break and wear down and these components may have to be replaced occasionally. If a bearing is the correct kind of bearing utilized for the machinery and it is properly fitted, this lift truck part can easily outlive the life expectancy of the entire machinery.
Cabs
The cab part of the forklift truck is the section where the operator sits and controls the entire machine. Based on the particular model, the cab could be open or it can have a roof. On a work place, this lift truck part normally has a roof to minimize the risk of falling materials and comply with safety measures.
Brake Forklift Parts
Lift trucks trucks have brakes that are required to be regularly tested in order to ensure they are in good working condition. Normally, these components would have to be replaced due to damage or extended wear.
Tires and Wheels
The wheels and the tires are the lift truck components which are most usually damaged. Problems happen because of slashes from rough and uneven floor boards and punctures from sharp objects on the floor.
