The kind of vehicle normally found in factories, warehouses and other work sites where moving heavy materials from one location to another is required is called a forklift. The mast is the mechanism situated on the front of the forklift that hydraulically lowers and raises the load. The "cat" is the area that is protected where the operator of the forklift sits.
Forklifts are capable of lifting loads between one and five tons in weight. Various types can be utilized to raise shipping containers and much heavier loads.
Forklift tires should be maintained and checked regularly. The kinds of tires on different forklifts differ based on factors like for example ground surfaces, frequency of use and load weights. Every forklift driver should have access to a forklift jack, tire press and replacement tires.
Tire Maintenance Instructions
You must frequently inspect the tires. Watch for indications of wear and damage to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40 percent, it must be replaced.
When buying tires, make sure that you are purchasing the right type - pneumatic, polyurethane or solid.
When you have to replace the tires, the forklift jack should be positioned under the tire. You could easily change the tires if you raise the forklift high enough.
You could utilize the tire press to pull the tire from the rim and remove the damaged tire. Install the new tire and secure it well. If you are changing more than one tire and you have just one jack, lower the forklift, then reposition the jack at the next tire.
On-site tire repair can be performed by a repair company. If the tire is too big for both mobile and in-house tire presses, the damaged tire would have to be transported to a shop that has a stationary tire press.
