TCM Counterbalance Forklifts Long Beach

To make certain that the operator of the lift truck remains safe and to prevent forklift misuse wherever possible, the counterbalance forklift driver is encouraged to take these following measures to keep the equipment functioning optimally.



Tires: Tires must be replaced when they are missing chunks or are worn badly. If the tire is in bad shape, they could cause sharp jarring impacts to the operator, the axle parts, to the wheel components, and to the load itself. Challenging applications require utilizing correct tires for maximum performance of the lift truck. So as to be certain that your equipment has the proper type of tires, ask your local dealer for an application survey.



Forks: Driving a forklift with worn tires can add to the premature wearing of the bottom of the forks. This could really jeopardize the ability of the forklift's truck to lift, which creates a potentially dangerous work setting. Being certain to carry out routine fork inspections by in-house maintenance technicians and by operators has to happen regularly in order to make sure that your machine is operating at maximum capacity.



Transmission: Damage to the transmission system is an issue that is caused by drivers who ride the inching pedal. To be able to avoid major component breakdown and failure, the inching pedal should ideally only be engaged when you want to apply the brakes while revving the engine and when you are approaching a rack. When the engine is revving, the hydraulics can work at full speed. When the hydraulics are not being used, the brake pedal is utilized for regular stopping of the truck.



Impact: Whenever the unfortunate circumstance of a lift truck encountering an impact to products and surroundings at high travel speeds occurs, forks, wheels, tires, backrests and attachments all suffer. Following what operators drive what models by assigning machines to a driver can help track who is responsible for the abuse to the equipment. By installing an impact monitor, a vehicle speed limiter or a keyless access system as alternatives on your forklift truck can really help you to greatly reduce impact damage.



Training: The key to making certain that your machine is properly maintained is regular and ongoing training. The machinery users have to be on board with proper maintenance and safety applications. It is required that all new drivers are trained correctly and know how to perform the required daily inspections so they can correctly operate the equipment before using it.
