Lower Operating Costs by Protecting Your Investment
Lift truck abuse is completely preventable. This is the reason why your Hyster forklift dealer has a total solution for getting rid of this type of abuse. The dealers have a variety of cost efficient alternatives and easy solutions to consider in order to avoid forklift abuse from happening.

Abuse Items, Product or Service Solutions, Worn Tires
Not like your personal vehicle, lift trucks are not equipped with suspension springs that give added cushioning. Hence, it is extremely essential to replace chunked tires or worn tires that cause jarring impacts to the axle components, the operator, and load and to the wheel.

To ensure maximum lift truck performance, there are actually many applications which depend upon using proper tires. You can simply request an application survey from your local Cat lift truck dealer, in order to ensure that your material handling equipment has the proper tires. It is really vital not to forget that operating with worn forklift tires may cause premature wear to the bottom of the tines. Worn forks can greatly jeopardize the forklift's ability to lift. This type of situation creates a dangerous and extremely unsafe work surrounding.

It is time to change the blades, when the fork's heel is worn more than 10 percent. Routine blade inspections are required in order to make certain that your machinery is safely operating and that your machine is working with safe forks. These inspections are very essential to the safety of your operators as well as anyone else working in close proximity to the equipment.

Riding the inching pedal is a bad habit that is unfortunately taken up by many lift truck operators. This inching pedal riding could lead to expensive damage to the vehicle's transmission. To be able to prevent major component failure from occurring, just utilize the inching pedal when you wish to apply the brakes while the engine is revving and are approaching a rack. This enables the hydraulics to work at full speed. The brake pedal is used to regularly stop the lift truck when the hydraulics is not being used and is situated in the middle.

Impact Damage
Anytime a lift truck encounters impact to its surroundings or to goods and products that are traveling at high speeds, there are actually major components including wheels, tires, body panels, forks, attachments and brackets that can suffer greatly.

In addition to assigning machine to a driver, there are actually certain products available to help lessen product damage including keyless access systems, vehicle speed limiter and impact monitor.
