Tips to reduce the cost of forklift use

In the use of forklifts, affected by the change of internal structure and external factors,
the internal parts of the vehicle will be worn,loose,deformed,etc.
Which will easily lead to unexpected failures in the long term,
and even have serious safety problems, while greatly increasing the cost of forklifts.

is not available in a timely manner, and insufficient hydraulic oil
can cause the forklift to fail to reach the height and rated load of its job, affecting work efficiency.
Timely draining of the oil-water separatoer,
which all internal combustion forklifts are currently equipped with as a result
of improvrd national environmental protection requirements, can cause serious direct engine damage
if the water in the oil-water separator is not drained in a timely manner.
