The kind of vehicle usually found inside factories, warehouses and various work locations where moving heavy materials from one location to another is necessary is known as a forklift. The mast is the mechanism located on the front of the forklift that hydraulically lifts and lowers the load. The "cat" is the protected area where the driver of the forklift sits.
Forklifts can carry loads that weigh between one to five tons. Some models can be used to raise shipping containers and loads that are a lot heavier.
Forklift tires must be maintained and checked regularly. The kinds of tires on various forklifts vary according to factors like for example ground surfaces, frequency of use and weight of the loads. Each and every forklift operator must have access to a forklift jack, tire press and replacement tires.
Tire Maintenance Instructions
Perform tire inspections on a regular basis. Watch for indications of wear and damage to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40 percent, it has to be replaced.
When purchasing tires, make certain that you are buying the right kind - solid, pneumatic or polyurethane.
When the tire needs replacing, position the forklift jack under the tire and raise the forklift high enough that you can change the tires easily.
You could utilize the tire press to pull the tire from the rim and remove the damaged tire. Install the new tire and secure it well. If you are changing more than one tire and you just have one jack, lower the forklift, and afterward reposition the jack at the next tire.
On-site tire repair can be performed by a repair company. If the tire is too large for both mobile and in-house tire presses, the damaged tire would have to be transported to a shop that has a stationary tire press.
