Eight ways to prolong the life of forklift tires
1. Choose suitable tires for forklift operations.
Choosing the right tire is the first step to ensure the best performance of industrial solid tires.
The application conditions of material handling services should determine the type of equipment and tires to be used.
Only when suitable tires are equipped on forklifts designed for service application conditions can the life of industrial tires be maximized.
2. Check tires regularly. Tire inspections should be done at least once a week-if possible,
they should be checked daily. Pay attention to and remove broken glass, nails, embedded metal chips, etc. on the tire.
If the inspection finds that the tire tread is irregularly worn or worn too quickly, this is often caused by mechanical failure,
such as brake failure or improper four-wheel alignment. If you find it, please correct it immediately.
3. Lubricate the forklift regularly. Proper lubrication, especially the lubrication of the engine and brake system,
will ensure that the forklift can roll freely and reduce tire resistance without slipping.
Avoid excessive lubrication, as grease and oil spills are harmful to most rubber compounds.
4. Adjust the brake. The wheels are part of the braking system of many vehicles.
Brake failure will cause brake drag and generate a lot of heat, which may cause problems such as tire bursts.
5. Check shaft alignment and steering. Regularly check the positioning of the steering device and the axle to avoid rapid or irregular tire wear and delamination.
6. Keep the tires clean. Ensure that the tires and the forklift are kept clean enough to avoid damage to the tires caused by debris falling into the gap between the tires and the forklift.
7. Install the tire in the center of the wheel. If the tire is not properly installed on the wheel, it can cause tire slippage.
8. Use suitable equipment. Don't use vehicles that have too little weight compared to handling tasks to save costs or temporarily use vehicles.
Overloading of the vehicle may be unsafe and cause damage to the forklift, tires, driver, and goods being carried.
