Lift truck trucks are extremely big and powerful pieces of industrial machines. In order for them to operate smoothly and efficiently, hundreds of different parts go into the manufacturing method. Lots of parts have to be replaced on regular basis due to breakages and damages.
The lift truck is a very versatile machinery, with a wide variety of accessories able to be fitted onto the machines. These accessories could increase the lift truck's capabilities and expand the tasks they are regularly able to finish. Some of the main different forklift parts and accessories are described below.
Fork Extensions
The fork extensions are the forks on the lift truck. These forks could can be changed completely, or various components can be added to them so the truck could lift a variety of different kinds of loads like for instance baskets, rollers, telescopic loads, amongst others.
Forklift Bearings and Seals
The bearings and seals are particular forklift parts that allow the inner workings of the machine to operate in an optimum and efficient manner. Bearings allow two moving parts of the equipment to smoothly work together, without any friction. If not fitted properly, bearings and seals can occasionally wear down or even break and these parts may need to be replaced occasionally. If a bearing is the proper kind of bearing used for the machinery and it is fitted correctly, this specific forklift component can easily outlive the life expectancy of the whole apparatus.
Cabs
The cab component of the lift truck truck is the portion where the operator sits and controls the whole machinery. Based on the specific unit, the cab could be open or it may have a roof. On a work site, this lift truck component normally has a roof to reduce the risk of falling materials and comply with safety reasons.
Brake Forklift Parts
Lift trucks trucks have brakes which are required to be regularly tested in order to ensure they are in good working condition. Often, these components must be replaced due to extended wear or damage.
Tires and Wheels
The wheels and the tires are the forklift parts that are most often damaged. Problems occur due to slashes from rough and uneven floor boards and punctures from sharp things on the floor.
