Forklift engines, hydraulic systems, brakes, mast mechanisms and electrical connections need regular checks. Özerol Mühendislik provides technical support for planning maintenance of lifting equipment, including forklifts.
Core maintenance topics
Engine oil, filters, cooling systems, hydraulic oil and levels, brakes, tyres and mast mechanisms should be reviewed regularly.
Electric forklifts also require checks on batteries, chargers, connection points and motor controls.
