Abuse Items, Product or Service Solutions, Worn Tires
Forklifts, unlike your personal vehicle, are not outfitted with suspension springs that give extra cushioning. Thus, it is really essential to replace chunked tires or worn tires that cause jarring impacts to the operator, the axle parts, and load and to the wheel.

There are a lot of demanding applications which rely upon utilizing the correct tires to ensure maximum lift truck performance. In order to ensure that your material handling machine has the proper tires, just request an application survey from your local Cat forklift dealer. It is essential not to forget that operating with worn lift truck tires can cause premature wear to the bottom of the blades. Worn forks could really jeopardize the forklift's ability to lift. This situation creates a dangerous and extremely unsafe work environment.

It is time to change the blades, when the fork's heel is worn over 10%. Routine blade inspections are needed in order to make certain that your machine is safely operating and that your equipment is operating with safe forks. These inspections are really vital to the safety of your operators as well as anybody else working near the machine.
