As the old adage goes, <em>an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure<\/em>. Depending on your particular <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Category:Forklift_truck_manufacturers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forklift manufacturer<\/a> you may have prescribed replacement intervals for specific components. In more general terms, the parts you should proactively replace during scheduled maintenance are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rubber Parts and Power Steering Hoses: At least every 4,000 hours or 2 years<\/li>\n<li>Reservoir Tank Hose: At least every 4,000 hours or 2 years<\/li>\n<li>Wheel Cylinder Rubber Parts: At least every year, or 2,000 hours<\/li>\n<li>Master Cylinder Rubber Parts: At least every year, or 2,000 hours<\/li>\n<li>Hydraulic Hose: At least every 4,000 hours or 2 years<\/li>\n<li>Lift Chain: At least every 3 years, or 6,000 hours<\/li>\n<li>Swing Lock Cylinder: At lease every 10,000 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are other parts that may also need regular replacement, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/welchequipment.com\/forklift-batteries\/\">Forklift battery<\/a>: these will usually last at least 5 years, and with proper handling they can last much longer. However, all batteries will eventually need to be replaced.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/welchequipment.com\/forklift-parts\/tires\/\">Forklift tires<\/a>: once tires erode under the 50% line, have tearing or general disintegration problems, or form flat areas, they should be changed immediately.<\/li>\n<li>Bearings: any failing bearings should be attended to right away to maintain smooth operation of the forklift.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Lift Truck Service Supplies<\/h2>\n<p>We also offer supplies and materials for general <a href=\"https:\/\/welchequipment.com\/forklift-service\/\">forklift maintenance<\/a>. Any regular forklift maintenance should include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Routine Lubrication: all moving parts or joints should be oiled on a regular basis.<\/li>\n<li>Fluids: Lead acid battery water and fluids for hydraulic systems should be checked on a regular schedule.<\/li>\n<li>Charging &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/welchequipment.com\/forklift-service\/battery-repair\/\">Battery Service<\/a>: A regular charging schedule is vital for your lift truck\u2019s battery life and performance.<\/li>\n<li>Gauge Inspection: for safety, all instruments and gauges must be inspected on a routine schedule.
