A forklift’s accessories, parts, and components are in a constant state of motion. This motion creates a “wear and tear” effect on forklifts which hinders peak performance. Some of the parts that can be effected include batteries, attachments, chargers, and clamps. Companies know that a truck with increased downtime is a detriment to not only their productivity but their company as a whole. Understanding how to maintain forklift accessories through proper maintenance is the proper way to deal with these effects of wear and tear.
BENEFITS OF REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON FORKLIFTS CAN LEAD TO:
- Maintaining a higher resale value.
- Improving performance for the truck’s components, accessories, and attachments.
- Cost reductions by finding smaller problems which could potentially lead to bigger problems in the future.
- A safer working environment for the truck operators and for the entire facility as a whole.
- More up-time for the truck, which reduces the cost over time and aids in prolonging forklift attachment life.
NEGLIGENCE OF PROPER MAINTENANCE ON FORKLIFTS CAN LEAD TO:
- More expense in the long run due to components, accessories, and attachments needing to be replaced at a more frequent rate.
- An unsafe work environment.
- Increased downtime the truck will have to operate, reducing its longevity.
- Reduced performance for the truck.
- Decreased productivity.
- Forklifts running poorly.
- Increased emissions.
