It's getting cold, remember to give your forklift a "big physical examination"
As winter approaches, forklifts will face the test of low temperatures and extreme cold again. How to take care of your forklift safely during the winter? A comprehensive winter medical examination is essential.
Project 1: Engine
Check if the oil, coolant, and starting battery level are normal.
Is the engine power, sound, and exhaust normal, and is the engine starting normally.
Check the cooling system: Check whether the cooling fan belt is tightened and whether the fan blades are intact; Check if there is any blockage on the appearance of the radiator; Check if the waterway is blocked, connect water from the inlet, and determine if it is blocked based on the size of the water flow at the outlet.
Check the timing belt for cracks, wear, and aging. If there are any, they should be replaced in a timely manner to avoid damaging the cylinder block.
Project 2: Hydraulic System
Check if the hydraulic oil level is normal, and the fork should be in a fully lowered state during the inspection.
Check if all hydraulic components operate smoothly and if the speed is normal.
Check for oil leakage in components such as oil pipes, multi way valves, and oil cylinders.
Project 3: Upgrading the system
Check if the roller groove of the door frame is worn and if the door frame is shaking. If the gap is too large, an adjusting gasket should be installed.
Check the stretching amount of the chain to determine if the chain length is normal.
Check if the thickness of the fork is within the range. If the thickness of the fork root is less than 90% of the side thickness (original factory thickness), it is recommended to replace it in a timely manner.
Project 4: Steering and wheels
Check the tire pattern and wear, check and adjust the tire pressure for pneumatic tires.
Check the tire nuts and torque.
Check if the steering knuckle bearings and wheel hub bearings are worn or damaged (judged by visually checking if the tires are tilted).
Project 5: Motor
Check if the motor base and bracket are loose, and if the motor wire connections and brackets are normal.
Check if the carbon brush is worn and if the wear exceeds the limit: generally visually inspect, if necessary, use a vernier caliper to measure, and also check if the elasticity of the carbon brush is normal.
Motor cleaning: If there is dust covering, use an air gun for cleaning (be careful not to rinse with water to avoid short circuits).
Check if the motor fan is working properly; Are there any foreign objects entangled and whether the blades are damaged.
Project 6: Electrical System
Check all combination instruments, horns, lighting, keys, and auxiliary switches.
Check all circuits for looseness, aging, hardening, exposure, oxidation of joints, and friction with other components.
Project 7: Battery
storage battery
Check the liquid level of the battery and use a professional density meter to measure the electrolyte density.
Check if the positive and negative pole connections are secure and if the battery plugs are intact.
Check and clean the surface of the battery and clean it.
lithium battery
Check the battery box and keep the battery dry and clean.
Check that the surface of the charging interface is clean and there are no particles, dust, or other debris inside the interface.
Check if the connectors of the battery are loose or corroded, clean and imprison them in a timely manner.
Check the battery level to avoid excessive discharge.
Project 8: Braking System
Check if there is any leakage in the brake cylinder and if the brake fluid level is normal, and supplement it if necessary.
Check if the thickness of the front and rear brake friction plates is normal.
Check the handbrake stroke and effect, and adjust if necessary.
