The problems encountered in the steering of electric forklifts need to be dealt with seriously, which are related to the safety of goods, vehicles, drivers, and pedestrians.
What is the cause of the steering failure of the electric forklift? Sometimes when we use electric forklifts, we will have heavy steering problems. Perhaps this is the most troublesome problem among many problems, because it is related to the safety of goods, vehicles, drivers, and pedestrians. It should not be underestimated.

First check the most visible point to see if the tire pressure of the electric forklift is sufficient, and if the pressure of the four tires is balanced. If the air pressure is insufficient, especially when the air pressure difference between the two sides is large, the deviation of the car will be very serious. Check whether the steering control lever is bent or deformed? There are tie rods and steering axles in the steering system. These components are directly related to the ease of steering. Are the links between the joints too tight, or are they damaged? The tie rods, straight tie rods, steering screw bearings, etc. need to be checked. If it is not too tight or damaged, it is necessary to see if it needs to be greased. If the lubrication of the steering device is not in place, the friction between the various parts will increase and the resistance will increase, which are all unfavorable factors that affect the steering.

If the gap between the rack and the tooth fan of the forklift is adjusted too tightly, then the rocker arm of the steering gear must be removed during the diagnosis and troubleshooting. At this time, turning the steering wheel feels heavy and adjust the rack, tooth fan and screw bearing. If the progress is uncertain, or if there is a feeling of jamming inside, check the screw steel ball, pipe clamp, rack, and bearing for damage. If there is damage, replace it in time.

The Basics of Forklift Tire Maintenance

Mar .01.2024

The tire is the only connection point between the forklift and the road. It not only bears the entire weight of the forklift and the weight of the cargo, but also responds to driving actions such as steering, acceleration and braking, and absorbs the impact of the road on the vehicle. Especially in winter when the ground is slippery, tires are crucial to driving safety and cannot be ignored!
