Where the forklift needs to be lubricated, first of all the tie rod joints of your rear steering axle and the claw axis joints of the two wheels are necessary, because it is the most active place on the vehicle, and then the front mast, the door There are two rear-pull cylinders on the frame, and there are two support frames in front with a movable shaft, which needs to be refueled, and then the connecting sleeve of the connection between the mast and the bridge needs to be refueled, and then the inner rail of the mast. This place can be added frequently, but it should not be added too much. It feels like a little oil. Add a little oil on the chain or touch it with diesel to prevent rust.

Lubricating oil plays a primary role in gear transmission to reduce conflict resistance, reduce wear, and extend the service life of mechanical parts as much as possible. In the same way, wheel slip oil also has the functions of scouring, maintenance, cooling, sealing, rust prevention, shock absorption, as a carrier for additives and structural materials.

About 80% of forklift parts are damaged due to friction and wear. Friction and wear can be completely reduced in the daily maintenance of forklifts. The purpose of reducing wear can be achieved through reasonable selection of friction pair matching materials and other material science methods, and the purpose of design can be achieved through reasonable structural design. Use reasonable Lubricating oil is an effective way to reduce friction. The role of lubricating oil is to use a material film to separate the surfaces that move relative to each other. This material has low shear resistance and causes very little wear. Lubricating oil plays a major role in gear transmission to reduce frictional resistance and reduce wear, so as to extend the service life of mechanical parts as much as possible. At the same time, the wheel oil also has the functions of flushing, protection, cooling, sealing, rust prevention, shock absorption, carrier for additives and structural materials.

250-Hour Forklift Maintenance: What to Check After the Second Service Interval

Aug .24.2026

A proper 250-hour service is not just an oil change. It is a structured inspection of the forklift's operating condition, lubrication points, mast and chain system, transmission components, brake system, tire condition, and key fasteners. For electric forklifts, it is also the right time to inspect and clean the battery, electrolyte, connectors, and electrical controls.
