The weather is hot, what is the best way to maintain an off-road forklift after use?

Date: Jul 08, 2024 Views:

Temperature management: High summer temperatures can cause forklift engines to overheat, so special attention needs to be paid to heat dissipation. The radiator should be checked for cleanliness and the fan drive belt should be properly tightened and adjusted if necessary.

Battery maintenance: Batteries are prone to "water loss" at high temperatures, so they need to be replenished in a timely manner and ensure that the electronic control and motor are naturally 

cooled during charging.


Cleaning and rust prevention: The exterior of the forklift should be kept clean and wiped with a semi-wet cloth, avoiding water washing to prevent rusting. At the same time, check whether there are 

scratches on the body and paint it in time to prevent rusting.


Tire Inspection: Due to the high temperature in summer, the tire pressure may rise, you need to check the tire pressure regularly to avoid too high resulting in a flat tire, and check whether there is 

any damage or wear on the tires.


Chassis check: the chassis of rough terrain forklift is easy to be damaged, you need to check all parts of the chassis regularly, if you find worn parts should be replaced in time.

Brake system inspection: Check the brake linings and clutch disk to ensure the effectiveness of the brake system and pay attention to the possible impact of high temperature on the brake system.


Lubricating Grease Replacement: Replace the lubricating grease suitable for summer use according to seasonal changes to ensure lubrication and reduce wear and tear of each part.


Air-conditioning system: If the forklift is equipped with an air-conditioning system, make sure that it works properly to provide a comfortable working environment for the driver and improve 

operational efficiency.


Explosion-proof measures: Forklift trucks working in flammable and explosive environments should take special explosion-proof measures, such as using explosion-proof forklift trucks, ensuring that 

the cooling system is well-designed, and using wet braking systems.


Daily Inspection: After each use, perform a daily inspection, including the hydraulic system, electrical system and mechanical components, to ensure there are no leaks or other problems.


By following these steps, you can ensure that your Rough Terrain Forklift is properly maintained after summer use to extend its life and maintain optimal performance.
