Lift truck trucks are really big and strong pieces of industrial machines. In order for them to work smoothly and efficiently, hundreds of different components go into the manufacturing process. Numerous components must be replaced on regular basis because of damages and breakages.
Forklifts are really versatile equipment. A variety of different accessories could be fitted onto the machinery in order to increase their capabilities and expand the jobs they are often able to finish. Several of the key 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 entirely, or various parts could be added to them so the truck could lift a variety of different types of loads including baskets, rollers, telescopic loads, among others.
Forklift Bearings and Seals
The bearings and seals are particular lift truck components that enable the inner workings of the machine to run in an optimum and efficient manner. Bearings enable two moving components of the machine to work together smoothly, without any friction. If not fitted properly, seals and bearings could occasionally break and wear down and these components may have to be replaced occasionally. If a bearing is the correct type of bearing utilized for the machine and it is fitted correctly, this lift truck component can easily outlive the life expectancy of the entire machinery.
Cabs
The cab part of the forklift truck is the section where the operator sits and controls the entire machinery. Depending upon the specific unit, the cab can be open or it could have a roof. On a work site, this forklift part normally has a roof to minimize the risk of falling materials and comply with safety reasons.
Brake Forklift Parts
The brakes situated on a lift truck truck are required to be frequently tested in order to make sure that they are in safe working condition. Often, these components must be replaced due to extended wear or damage.
Wheels and Tires
The forklifts wheels and tires are the components most usually damaged. Problems occur because of slashes from rough and uneven floor boards and punctures from sharp objects on the floor.
