6 Maintenance Tips for Your Electric Hand Pallet Trucks
At the forefront of intralogistics and material handling, we take pride in delivering top-of-the-line Electric Hand Pallet Trucks that demonstrate our long-standing commitment to quality and reliability. Electric Hand Pallets play an essential role in efficient and effective warehouse operations. Therefore, just like any other industrial equipment or machinery, they must be regularly scheduled for maintenance to avoid potential safety hazards, decreased performance, unwanted downtimes, and expensive repairs.
- Visual Inspections - It is crucial before each shift that the operator carries out a simple visual check for possible damage, leaks, and worn-out parts of the truck. Additionally, you could also check for the battery level and other safety functions such as the lights.
- Cleaning - We can make things simple by using a clean damp cloth to wipe around the truck, and in hard-to-reach and sensitive areas such as the battery compartment, it is more practical to use a soft brush or an air compressor to keep them pristine. Keeping the truck clean is important for hygiene and sanitation. This benefits both the operator and the products that are being transported to avoid possible cross-contamination.
- Battery Care - It is recommended that you follow our guidelines on maintenance and charging to maximise performance and extend your battery’s lifespan. A simple trick to keep in mind that has been scientifically proven is that you should keep your lithium-ion battery levels between 20% to 80% to boost lifespan.
- Lubrication - It is vital that industrial equipment is habitually lubricated to reduce friction between mechanisms that would in turn lead to components that become quickly worn out and eventually break down. Lubricating your trucks often may reduce downtimes and maximise performance.
- Extensive Inspections - From time to time, it may be necessary to do a deeper inspection of your truck, especially the forks, hydraulics, batteries, and other important components.
- Test Your Safety Features - It may help reduce the chances of accident occurrences if you regularly assess your truck’s safety features. The safety of the operator is critical to warehouse operations and is also considered a right of every human being.
Bonus Tips
- Abide by the load capacity limits to prevent safety hazards and extend the truck’s lifespan.
- Store the truck in a clean and dry area to make sure that the truck performs at its best.
To summarise, simple maintenance and inspections go a long way to ensure that your truck performs at its best whether it’s physically or financially for your business.
