Here are 3 pressing forklift repair requirements that take the cake in terms of importance.
Ignition
This is perhaps pretty obvious, as you can’t do any work with a forklift that won’t start. Common issues behind a forklift that will not start include a dead or damaged battery, and overheated engine. If the battery is ok, check the fluid levels and see whether or not the radiator ports are blocked.
Steering
If the forklifts starts well, the operator must be able to easily manoeuvre it to take it where it has to go and carry out the necessary work. A failure or difficulty, or erratic steering needs to be diagnosed and fixed immediately. One common reason behind steering issues is fluid levels or leaks. If the fluid levels are fine, contact Accurate Forklift to get other issues such as gears, linkage checked.
Lifting
At the heart of a forklift’s functionality, is its ability to lift and haul items. This makes your forklift’s ability to lift as important as being able to start or steer. Problems with lifting or lowering, erratic operation, and being too slow or fast significantly impact productivity and safety in the warehouse or at job sites. Check the mast’s hydraulic fluid levels and chain as they are the usual suspects.

My boss is going to be getting some forklifts to help us with moving shipments, and it’s good to know what to look for in terms of what immediately needs repair in a forklift. We’re going to be renting, so we won’t be as familiar with the forklifts as with some other equipment in the shipping department, so it’ll be important for us to keep an eye on them and make sure we catch issues early, especially if there is a problem with steering as you said. We’ll be sure to check the fluid like you said if we have any trouble with the steering, and it’s good to know that it should maneuver easily.
