Signs that your forklift needs a service
Generally speaking, forklifts need to be serviced every 250 to 500 hours of operation or at least once a year, whichever comes first. However, it may need a service before these milestones in certain circumstances.
Book your forklift in for a service if you notice any of the following signs:
- Slow to respond – If your forklift is taking a long time to react to commands.
- Strange noises – Unusual sounds like clunking, grinding or whining.
- Leaks – Any fluid leaks or stains on the floor below your forklift.
- Warning lights – If warning lights on the machine are lighting up.
- Reduced power – If the forklift seems to be struggling to perform its usual tasks.
- Tyre wear – If the tyres are wearing unevenly, you may have a suspension problem.
- It’s hard to steer – This includes pulling to one side.
