Tire and brake wear on 8 ton forklift trucks in Thailand: the maintenance line

Under Thailand's typical high temperature, high humidity and heavy load working scenarios that widely cover cargo terminals, rubber processing plants and building material yards, 8 ton forklift trucks usually face faster wear of tires and brake components compared with usage in mild climate areas. A standardized, step-by-step maintenance line can effectively control unnecessary wear loss, extend component service life and avoid sudden safety failures. The maintenance line starts from daily pre-shift check, operators need to observe the tire surface for cuts, embedded gravel and abnormal cracks, confirm tire pressure stays within the rated specified range, never over inflate tires under high temperature outdoor environment to prevent burst risk. For brake parts, operators need to check the brake pedal free travel, brake fluid level and basic braking sensitivity every day, no abnormal delay or deviation of braking action is allowed before the forklift starts operation. The weekly maintenance procedure requires workers to clear all embedded sundries in tire tread gaps, wipe off accumulated rubber debris and dust on the surface of brake assemblies, test full-load braking performance for 2 to 3 times to ensure the system works stably. The monthly maintenance link includes checking tire wear uniformity, conducting necessary dynamic balance test, adjusting walking mechanism parameters in time if uneven unilateral wear is found, measuring the remaining thickness of brake pads, replacing qualified new parts immediately once the wear limit is reached. During daily operation, operators should avoid frequent sharp acceleration and emergency braking under full load state, reduce long time driving on road surfaces covered with sharp crushed stones, properly lower driving speed in rainy slippery days to reduce extra wear load on tires and brakes.
