Lower Operating Costs by Protecting Your Investment
Lift truck abuse is absolutely preventable. This is why your Hyster forklift dealer has a complete solution for eliminating this kind of abuse. The dealers have a range of easy solutions and cost effective alternatives to take into consideration in an effort to avoid lift truck abuse from happening.

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

There are lots of demanding applications which depend on using the correct tires to guarantee maximum lift truck performance. In order to ensure that your material handling machinery has the proper tires, just request an application survey from your local Cat forklift dealer. It is important to remember that operating with worn forklift tires may result in premature wear to the bottom of the tines. Worn forks can greatly jeopardize the ability of the forklift to lift. This situation creates an awfully unsafe and dangerous work environment.

When the heel on the forks is worn more than 10 percent, it is time to change the forks. In order to make certain that your machine is safely functioning, routine fork inspections are needed to make sure that your equipment is working with safe forks. These inspections are essential to the safety of your drivers along with anybody else working near the machinery.

Unfortunately, lots of lift truck drivers have taken up the bad habit of riding the inching pedal. This could lead to expensive damage to the vehicle's transmission. To be able to avoid major component failure from happening, only utilize the inching pedal when you wish to apply the brakes while the engine is revving and are approaching a rack. This allows the hydraulics to function at full speed. The brake pedal is utilized to regularly stop the truck when the hydraulics is not being used and is located in the middle.

Impact Damage
There are major parts including tires, wheels, body panels, forks, attachments and brackets which suffer greatly anytime a lift truck encounters impact to its product or to its surrounding while traveling at high speeds.

In addition to assigning machinery to an operator, you will find particular products available to help reduce product damage including keyless access systems, vehicle speed limiter and impact monitor.
