The type of vehicle normally found inside factories, warehouses and different work sites where moving heavy materials from one location to another is necessary is known as a forklift. The mast is the mechanism located on the front of the forklift that hydraulically raises and lowers the load. The "cat" is the area that is protected where the forklift driver sits.
Forklifts are capable of carrying loads between one and five tons in weight. Various kinds can be used to raise shipping containers and loads that are a lot heavier.
The tires of a forklift should be inspected and maintained regularly. The kinds of tires on various forklifts differ based on factors like ground surfaces, frequency of use and load weights. Each and every forklift operator should have access to a forklift jack, tire press and replacement tires.
Tire Maintenance Instructions
Carry out tire inspections regularly. 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 purchase tires, be sure you buy the correct type - pneumatic, polyurethane or solid.
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.
To remove the damaged tire, pull the tire from the rim using the tire press. Install the new tire and secure it properly. If you are changing more than one tire and you only have one jack, lower the forklift, then reposition the jack at the next tire.
A repair company could provide on-site tire repair. If the tire is too big for both mobile and in-house tire presses, the damaged tire must be transported to a shop that has a stationary tire press.
