Service Your Forktruck Before Winter Sets In

The performance and reliability of even the best forklifts or other material-handling machinery can be compromised by bad weather conditions, particularly snow and ice. As companies prepare for the seasonal rush, simple maintenance checks can often be overlooked, leaving potential problems at peak times.

Fully checking your vehicles

Obvious checks such as inspecting tyres will have been carried out by many firms, however other vital truck components also need to be carefully considered. Hoses connecting various hydraulic components of the lifting system should also be checked regularly as they naturally become loose over time. Ensuring a service schedule on all trucks is up to date is extremely important.

Keep the Operating Environment Safe

It also pays to have a solid plan in place to remove snow and ice form operating areas, making sure it can be implemented quickly and effectively incase of snow or ice appearing.
