Lift truck trucks are really big and powerful pieces of industrial equipment. In order for them to operate efficiently and smoothly, hundreds of different components go into the manufacturing process. Many components should be replaced regularly due to breakages and damages.
The lift truck is a really versatile equipment, with a wide variety of accessories able to be fitted onto the equipment. These accessories could increase the lift truck's capabilities and expand the tasks they are often able to finish. Some of the major different forklift components and accessories are described below.
Fork Extensions
Fork extensions are designed to fit over the forklift's regular forks. These forks are able to be changed completely, or various parts can be added to them so the truck could raise a variety of different kinds of cargo such as baskets, rollers, telescopic loads, among others.
Forklift Bearings and Seals
The bearings and seals on the lift truck enable the inner workings on the equipment to function optimally and efficiently. Bearings enable two moving components of the equipment to work together smoothly, without any friction. If not fitted properly, bearings and seals can occasionally break and wear down and these parts may have to be replaced periodically. If a bearing is the correct kind of bearing for the equipment and it is properly fitted, this forklift component can easily outlive the life expectancy of the whole equipment.
Cabs
The cab component of the lift truck truck is the portion where the operator sits and controls the whole equipment. Based on the particular unit, the cab can be open or it can have a roof. On a work site, this forklift component typically has a roof to lessen the risk of falling materials and comply with safety measures.
Brake Forklift Parts
Lift trucks trucks have brakes that are required to be regularly checked in order to ensure they are in good working condition. Normally, these parts should be replaced due to extended wear or damage.
Wheels and Tires
The wheels and the tires are the lift truck components which are most usually damaged. Problems happen due to slashes from uneven and rough floor boards and punctures from sharp things on the floor.
