The kind of vehicle normally found within factories, warehouses and other work sites where moving heavy materials from one location to another is necessary is known as a forklift. The mast is the mechanism situated on the front of the forklift which hydraulically raises and lowers the load. The "cat" is the area which is protected where the forklift driver sits.
Forklifts are capable of lifting loads between one and five tons in weight. Some types can be used to carry shipping containers and much heavier loads.
The tires of a forklift should be inspected and maintained frequently. The types of tires on different forklifts differ based on factors such as frequency of use, load weights and ground surfaces. Every operator of a forklift should have access to a forklift jack, tire press and replacement tires.
Tire Maintenance Instructions
Carry out tire inspections on a regular basis. Watch for signs of damage and wear to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40 percent, it must be replaced.
When purchasing tires, make sure that you are buying the right type - pneumatic, polyurethane or solid.
When you need to replace the tires, the forklift jack must be positioned under the tire. You could easily change the tires if you raise the forklift high enough.
In order to remove the damaged tire, pull the tire from the rim utilizing the tire press. Install the new tire and secure it properly. If you are changing more than one tire and you just have one jack, lower the forklift, then reposition the jack at the next tire.
A repair company could provide on-site tire repair. If the tire is extremely large for both mobile and in-house tire presses, the damaged tire should be transported to a shop that has a stationary tire press.
