Common Forklift Issues
Early detection and repair are crucial to prevent further damage and avoid costly downtime. NovaLift’s forklift repair services are readily available to diagnose and fix any issue before it becomes a bigger problem.
Below are some of the problems you’re likely to encounter as a forklift owner.
- Mast or Lift Problems: The mast allows a forklift to lift and move heavy materials. Common problems include worn-out chains, faulty rollers, and broken pulleys. These problems can cause the mast to malfunction, resulting in a decrease in lifting capacity or an inability to raise or lower the forks properly.
- Starting Issues: The starter motor is responsible for turning over the engine when you turn the key in the ignition. A problem with the starter motor can prevent your forklift from starting at all. Common causes of starting issues include a faulty starter motor, a dead battery, or corroded wiring connections.
- Faulty Steering: An issue with the steering system of a forklift can lead to poor handling and increased risk of accidents or injury. Common issues with steering systems include loose steering wheels, worn-out bearings, and damaged seals within hydraulic cylinders.
- Engine Overheating: If your forklift’s engine gets too hot, it can cause serious damage to internal components such as pistons and cylinders. Common causes of engine overheating include clogged air filters, low coolant levels, or blocked radiators.
- Worn-Out Tires and Suspension:Worn-out tires and suspension components can cause decreased performance from your forklift as well as increased wear on other components such as brakes and axles.
Preventive Maintenance
Regular forklift maintenance is crucial in preventing major breakdowns in the machine. As with any vehicle or heavy machinery, forklifts require consistent care to ensure they operate smoothly and efficiently.
NovaLift Equipment’s preventative maintenance programs have several benefits, including:
- Avoided Equipment Failure: Neglecting the maintenance needs of a forklift can lead to serious issues, such as a breakdown during critical operations.
- Lengthened Life Expectancy of Assets: Investing in preventive maintenance can keep your forklifts running smoothly and efficiently for years to come.
- Cost Savings: InveBy scheduling routine maintenance checks, potential problems can be caught early on and addressed before they become costly repairs.
- Improved Safety: A defective forklift can cause dangerous accidents. Regular preventive maintenance ensures that your forklift keeps both operators and coworkers safe.
- Increased Efficiency: One of the best ways to increase your forklift’s efficiency is by getting regular maintenance and tune-ups to thwart problems before they arise.
