When Does a Forklift Need an Overhaul?

Mast sway poses safety hazards; forklift stability decreases; wear parts are approaching or have reached the end of their service life, such as abnormal noises during operation (from the mast, drive axle, steering axle, internal body, etc.); poor braking poses safety hazards; abnormal motor noises require replacement of motor bearings; poor steering poses safety hazards; large clearances in forklift operating components and worn-out appearance. Under tight budget conditions, consider adopting an overhaul plan for multiple old vehicles to overcome temporary difficulties. If a forklift has been in use for more than 5 years and is used frequently, due to normal aging of electrical components and normal wear of mechanical parts, the overall condition of the forklift declines, and maintenance costs inevitably increase year by year. Each emergency repair can only solve part or the current problem. In addition, with continuous year-round use, while the overall condition declines, the safe operating performance of the entire vehicle inevitably declines as well. At this point, the safe use of the forklift is inevitably the customer's greatest concern and also their greatest worry, and overhaul work can relieve customers of such concerns. The benefits after overhaul can be seen in the following aspects: 1. Through overhaul, improve the overall condition of the forklift, increase the service life of the forklift, reduce the frequency of repurchasing forklifts, and lower costs. 2. Through overhaul, reduce the forklift warranty rate, thereby reducing forklift downtime, increasing continuous operating time, increasing forklift utilization, and lowering forklift operating costs. In addition, it also reduces the workload of managers. 3. Through overhaul, improve the safety of forklift use, allowing the forklift to be used again with confidence and avoiding unnecessary losses caused by safety hazards. After overhaul, the service life of an old vehicle can be extended by 30%-50%. Generally speaking, the service life of industrial vehicles is 5 years. After overhaul extends the service life of old vehicles and they continue to be put into use, it is very beneficial for cost control.
