Checking Wear on Reach Truck Load Wheels

reach truck load wheels are core force-bearing components that directly contact the operation ground and undertake most of the load weight of the handling goods. Long-term high-frequency operation will cause normal wear on the wheel surface, and ignoring the wear condition will easily affect the running stability of the whole vehicle. Regular wear check of load wheels is a very important part of the daily maintenance system for electric industrial forklifts.

Before starting the formal inspection, you should first park the reach truck on a flat and hard ground, pull up the parking brake, cut off the main power supply of the whole vehicle, and confirm that the fork is completely landed before starting the operation, which can effectively avoid safety risks caused by accidental sliding of the vehicle during the inspection process. First of all, you need to clean up all the sundries attached to the surface of the load wheel, including residual packaging fragments, dust, small wood scraps and other foreign matters, to fully expose all areas of the wheel body, so as not to leave hidden dangers for subsequent wear judgment.

After finishing the cleaning work, you can first carry out visual inspection to observe the wear trace on the outer circumference of the wheel body, confirm whether there is abnormal wear such as uneven partial grinding mark, local block drop or tiny surface crack. If the uniform normal wear thickness exceeds one third of the initial thickness of the load wheel, you need to replace the corresponding part in time to avoid operation jamming in subsequent use. After visual inspection, you can slowly turn the load wheel by hand to feel whether the rotation process is smooth, and check whether there is abnormal stuck point or abnormal friction noise. At the same time, you need to measure the gap between the wheel body and the installation support to judge whether the internal bearing has synchronous wear.

Regular wear check of reach truck load wheels can effectively reduce the overall operation failure rate of the forklift, extend the comprehensive service life of the vehicle, and avoid safety accidents such as goods falling or vehicle sideslip caused by sudden failure of load wheels.

It is recommended that the operator formulate a reasonable inspection plan according to the daily use frequency of the reach truck. For vehicles that work more than 8 hours a day, it is suggested to carry out a full wear check of load wheels every two weeks. Do not disassemble relevant components without professional guidance during the whole process of inspection and maintenance, so as to avoid additional damage to the parts caused by improper operation.
