Leaks Are a Sure Sign Your Forklift Needs Repairs

If a forklift operator or someone else notices leaks emanating from your material handling equipment, this is a matter that should be taken very seriously. A fluid leak can signify any number of things. It typically indicates trouble with your forklift’s cooling, steering, or hydraulic systems. In addition to being a sign that you may need repairs, fluid on the floor of your warehouse or loading dock is a serious safety hazard.

Contacting the professionals at The Electric Lift Truck Company in Toronto when you first notice a fluid leak is always a wise choice. It can not only save you time and money by minimizing the extent of repairs that your forklift needs, but also help to avoid lost time, damage to your equipment, or serious accidents.

The most common causes of leaks found on a forklift include:

● Loose fitting or clamp
● Blown tube or hose
● Leaking O-ring
● Cracked cylinder

A forklift can also have a fluid leak due to a bad engine seal, planetary gear seal, bad control valve seal, or even a loose oil filter. Again, our highly trained technicians  can perform repairs to most all types of material handling equipment, so call us first.

Avoid Expensive Repairs with Preventative Maintenance

We offer service, sales, rentals, parts and even forklift training in Toronto. Our preventative maintenance forklift service is a great way to be proactive and prevent the need for expensive repairs. This involves cleaning your equipment with compressed air to remove dirt and debris, lubricating as needed, checking all fluid levels and performing fluid changes as necessary, and performing a specific gravity test of your forklift’s battery.

 

The Electric Lift Truck Company also offers training for lift truck operators, aerial platform operators, and pedestrians.
