Regarding The Maintenance Methods Of Off-Road Forklifts, Are You Really Using Them Correctly?

Rough-terrain forklifts need to be maintained more frequently

More frequent cleaning: After working on harsh surfaces such as mountains, sand, snow, and muddy roads, off-road forklifts will accumulate a large amount of mud and dirt, so they need to be cleaned more frequently.

The larger the machine, the more inspections it needs before use.

1. Enhanced tire inspection: Because off-road forklifts often travel on uneven ground, tire wear may be more severe, so a more careful inspection of tire condition, including air pressure, wear and damage, is required.

2. Suspension system inspection: The suspension system of an off-road forklift is designed to absorb the impact of harsh terrain, so the suspension system needs to be checked regularly for damage or wear.

3. Four-wheel drive systems: Rough-terrain forklifts are often equipped with four-wheel drive systems, and the health of components such as driveshafts, differentials, and transfer cases needs to be checked.

4. Additional Fastener Inspections: When an off-road forklift is working on rough terrain, the fasteners of the body and chassis may be under greater stress, so the fasteners need to be checked more frequently to see if they are tight.
   

5. Enhanced fluid level and leak inspection: The hydraulic and braking systems of rough-terrain forklifts may be more prone to leaks due to harsh environments and require closer inspection.

In addition, there are many areas that require special attention

Extra Lubrication: The joints and articulation points of your rough-terrain forklift may require additional lubrication to reduce wear and remain flexible.

Electrical system: Because off-road forklifts may operate in dusty or wet environments, the electrical system requires additional protection and inspection to prevent short circuits or corrosion.

Cab and operator comfort: Operators of rough-terrain forklifts may have to face bumpier working conditions, so cab comfort and maintenance are also important.

In addition, seasonal changes also have an impact on the use of off-road forklifts, such as the use of lubricants suitable for low temperatures in cold weather.

The maintenance of off-road forklifts requires more attention to the durability and adaptability of the vehicle to ensure that it can maintain optimal performance under harsh working conditions.
