In order to ensure that your material handling machine has the proper tires, simply request an application survey from your local Cat lift truck dealer. It is very vital not to forget that operating with worn forklift tires may lead to premature wear to the bottom of the blades. Forks that are worn can greatly jeopardize the ability of the forklift to lift. This kind of situation creates an extremely unsafe and dangerous work surrounding.

When the heel on the forks is worn more than 10 percent, it is time to change the forks. In order to ensure that your equipment is safely operating, routine fork inspections are required to make sure that your machinery is working with safe forks. These inspections are really essential to the safety of your operators along with anybody else working near the machinery.

This enables the hydraulics to work at full speed. The brake pedal is located in the middle and is utilized to frequently stop the truck when the hydraulics is not being utilized.
