Electric forklift is common transportation tools in the modern logistics industry. To ensure the safety of operators and goods, the normal operation of the braking system is crucial. This article will introduce the method of electric forklift brake inspection to help you ensure the safe operation of the forklift.
Check the brake fluid and brake lines: Brake fluid is an important part of the electric forklift braking system, and its level and quality need to be checked regularly. First, open the hood of the electric forklift and locate the brake fluid tank. Check whether the fluid level is within the standard range. If it is too low, add an appropriate amount of brake fluid in time. At the same time, check the brake lines for leaks or damage to ensure that the brake fluid can be transferred smoothly to the brakes.
Check the brake pedal and brakes: The brake pedal is the operating part of the electric forklift braking system, and its sensitivity and reliability need to be ensured. First, step on the brake pedal and feel whether the stroke and resistance of the brake pedal are normal. If the stroke is too long or the resistance is not enough, it may be a sign that the brake pedal is improperly adjusted or the brake is severely worn, and needs to be adjusted or replaced accordingly. Secondly, check the wear of the brakes and ensure that the gap between the brake pads and the brake discs is appropriate to ensure stable and reliable braking effect.
Test the braking effect: In order to ensure that the braking effect of the electric forklift meets the requirements, a braking test is required. On a safe site, drive at a low speed and lightly press the brake pedal to see if the forklift can stop quickly. If the braking distance is long or the braking effect is poor, it may be a sign of serious brake wear or substandard brake fluid quality, which requires prompt treatment.
The braking system of an electric forklift is an important part of ensuring the safety of operators and cargo. By regularly checking the status of the brake fluid and brake lines, brake pedals and brakes, as well as testing the braking effect, you can ensure the normal operation of the electric forklift's braking system. Only by maintaining good braking conditions can potential accident risks be effectively avoided and the safety of the workplace guaranteed.
