Hydraulic System Maintenance for Reach Trucks

The hydraulic system is one of the core functional components of a reach truck, which directly supports stable lifting, steering and load handling performance, and standard daily maintenance can effectively reduce unexpected fault risks and extend the overall service life of the equipment. Before each daily operation, operators need to check the hydraulic oil level first to make sure it stays within the marked standard range, and observe if the oil shows signs of turbidity, emulsification or dark discoloration. Do not start high-load operation if any abnormal sign is found, and arrange targeted inspection in time to avoid hidden risks. Regularly check all joints of hydraulic pipelines, confirm no oil leakage trace exists, and check if the outer skin of pipelines has wear, crack or deformation. Replace aging sealing parts in time once found, to prevent high pressure hydraulic oil leakage that may cause safety hazards. The replacement interval of hydraulic oil can be adjusted according to actual working conditions, and for operation scenes with heavy dust, high humidity or large temperature difference, you can appropriately shorten the oil changing cycle. When replacing hydraulic oil, you need to clean the residual impurities inside the hydraulic tank thoroughly, do not mix different types of hydraulic oil arbitrarily to avoid performance decline of the whole system. During daily operation, do not keep the control valve under maximum pressure status for a long time to prevent long term system overload. After finishing each shift of operation, lower the pallet to the lowest position to release residual pressure inside the hydraulic system. If you notice abnormal signs such as unsmooth lifting, sudden increase of steering resistance, stop operation immediately, then check common potential problems including blocked filter element and offset pressure parameters, do not disassemble core valve parts without professional guidance. If you meet difficulties in fault location, you can contact Jianshu New Energy for professional technical support, and the professional service team can also provide standardized hydraulic system detection and maintenance services for all series of BYD Forklift reach trucks. For detailed customized maintenance guidance, you can send your related demand emails to 17399989919@163.com for fast response. Following standardized hydraulic system maintenance process for long term can effectively cut down overall operation and maintenance cost, and ensure the continuous and stable running of warehouse material handling work, avoiding unnecessary operation delay caused by sudden equipment failure.
