The service life of the flat trolley is generally 3-5 years. The correct use of the flat trolley and the timely maintenance of the flat trolley can extend its service life.
Proper maintenance will extend the service life of the flatbed trolley. During maintenance, the oil, air, and lubrication are mainly checked.
Check the oil level every six months. The newly injected oil into the rubber container should be 5mm below the liquid level, and the fork must be at the lowest position when adding oil. When replacing the seal, air may enter the hydraulic system. Place the joystick at the LOWER position and swing the handle a dozen times. Use motor oil or lubricating oil to lubricate the moving parts. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to daily inspection and maintenance. The inspection of the flat trolley can reduce the wear as much as possible. Special attention should be paid to the wheels, axles, handles, forks, lifting and lowering controls. Whenever the work is completed, the fork should be empty and lowered to the lowest position. Flat trolleys will inevitably encounter some failures during use, and understanding the common use failures will greatly improve the efficiency of the use of handling tools.
Generally speaking, please pay attention to the following points during the use of the flat trolley:
1. Don’t overload;
2. Whether the ground conditions allow use;
3. Load goods correctly;
4. Please wear safety shoes and gloves during operation;
5. Please do a thorough operation check before each use;
6. Use the correct lifting technique to assemble the machine;
7. Don’t ignore the potential hazards that may exist during the operation.
