The maintenance of a 3-ton forklift

The maintenance of a 3-ton forklift mainly includes daily maintenance, first-level maintenance, second-level maintenance, and third-level maintenance. The specific content is as follows:

Daily Maintenance

  • Cleaning and Inspection: After each day's work, clean the surface of the forklift, focusing on the fork carriage, mast guide rails, battery terminals, radiator, and air filter.
  • Check Fluid Levels: Inspect the levels of engine oil, fuel, coolant, hydraulic oil, etc., and refill if necessary.
  • Inspect Brakes and Tires: Check the reliability and flexibility of the foot brake and steering system. Ensure tire pressure is adequate and remove any debris from the tire treads.
  • Check for Leaks: Examine all pipe connections, fuel tank, hydraulic cylinders, water tank, and engine oil pan for any signs of leakage.

First-Level Maintenance (Every 50 Operating Hours)

  • Inspection and Cleaning: Check the quantity, viscosity, and contamination level of engine oil. Clean the battery and top up with distilled water.
  • Lubrication and Tightening: Lubricate the clutch, brake linkage, and other parts with engine oil or grease. Inspect and tighten the wheel bolts.
  • Inspect Equipment: Check the tension of the fan belt and listen for any abnormal noises from the transmission, differential, and oil pump, water pump drive assemblies.

Second-Level Maintenance (Every 200 Operating Hours)

  • Replacement and Cleaning: Change the engine oil and clean the oil pan, crankcase, and oil filter. Clean the fuel tank and inspect the fuel lines and pump connections.
  • Inspection and Adjustment: Check and adjust the free travel of the clutch and brake pedals. Adjust the wheel brake clearance. Inspect and replace the coolant if necessary.
  • Inspect Hydraulic System: Drain sediment from the hydraulic oil tank, clean the filter screen, and add new oil if needed.

Third-Level Maintenance (Every 600 Operating Hours)

  • Comprehensive Inspection and Adjustment: Adjust the valve clearance, measure cylinder pressure, and check the performance of the clutch and steering system.
  • Inspect Worn Parts: Check the free travel of the steering wheel and inspect the wear of the bearings on the clutch and brake pedal shafts.
  • Comprehensive Cleaning and Tightening: Thoroughly clean the forklift and inspect and tighten all exposed bolts.

Maintenance Tips

  • Maintenance Schedule: Adjust the maintenance schedule based on the frequency of use and working conditions of the forklift. It is generally recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection every 3-4 months.
  • Choose Quality Service Providers: Select qualified maintenance units and use original or high-quality spare parts to ensure maintenance quality.

Regular maintenance can extend the service life of the forklift, reduce repair costs, and improve operational safety and efficiency.
