Successful and effective operation of any factory or industrial plant is not possible without the technical equipment thoroughly looked after. Being one step ahead and preventing the damage is key to profitability in any area of business.
After many years of operation, mechanisms start to wear down by nature. This common situation, however, can lead to a critical break-down and result in a cost-demanding repair. What can stop the machines from wearing down and failing? The answer is overhauling of the machine.
Overhaul involves:
Inspection
Dismantling
Repair
Reassembly
Testing
Types of Overhauling
Transmission Overhauling : The operation of your equipment depends on the power driving it. And your transmission is as crucial to your power solution as the engine. So here is the necessity of Transmission Overhauling.
A transmission overhaul requires the removal and disassembly of the transmission in its entirety. Each and every parts of transmission is inspected by our service engineers for wear or damage and cleaned with special cleaning solutions. Also replaces the spare depending upon its condition. Parts that have friction surfaces, such as bands and clutches, are replaced as are all seals and gaskets. We will refer the technical service bulletins of the manufacturer and uses the upgraded genuine service kits as recommended.
As you aware transmission overhaul is a serious job, our responsible technicians will carry out the work efficiently with our warranty. Transmission overhaul will prevent the development of any future serious transmission problems for a long time to come and saves your money for a major investment on your asset.
Hydraulic system overhauling : Whether your company uses forklift hydraulic pressure lifts or electric forklifts, the proper usage and maintenance of a forklift will keep the forklift hydraulic pressure system in good working condition, without needing constant repair work. Without well maintained forklft, your company is more susceptible to suffer accidents and injuries for the vehicle operators. Through the overhauling work we ensures all the components of the hydraulic system including pump, control valve, relief valve, return line etc are working perfectly by filling the fluids and changing the spares.
Forklift hydraulics raise the load-bearing prongs off the ground. A hydraulic forklift lifts and holds the load in the air while the forklift moves. A forklift hydraulic system is the heart of the machine because it is responsible for moving pallets. And the heart of your company’s safety program is proper hydraulic forklift training and certification! The levers control the hydraulic system in a forklift. The operator needs to be very careful with them. It’s important that only trained and certified operators use forklifts. They need to properly calculate the load and how much lift power is needed to move it. The hydraulics of a forklift have a lot of power, and only a small amount of effort can create enough force to move a large, heavy load.
Break Overhauling: Brake malfunction can cause serious damage to your facility and equipment, and may result in the injury or death of personnel. How many hours has it been since your forklift had its brakes inspected or serviced
How Often Do Forklift Brakes Need Service?
- Every 250 hours: blowout brake dust
- Every 2,000 hours: inspect brake drums
- Every 5,000-7,000 hours: replace brake shoes
Don’t wait until your equipment goes down and needs a costly repair. You’ll save money and avoid downtime by getting your brakes serviced regularly. For example:Debris and dust get trapped inside the system and over time create ridges on the brake shoes. If caught early enough, you can just replace the shoes and wheel seals. Wait too long, and the ridges transfer to the brake drums making the repairs much more expensive.
How Forklift Brakes Get Damaged
Forklift brakes can damage average 5,000 – 7,000 hours during their lifetime. This range depends on a few factors, most notably: how the lift truck is driven. Forklift brakes won't last as long if:
- Operator(s) drive with the parking brake engaged
- Operator brakes without allowing enough time for the forklift to decelerate
- Driving “two-footed” (riding the brake)
- The wheel cylinder and hub seals are damaged
If you find your lift trucks need brake service more frequently than the averages noted above, this may be a sign your forklift operators need refresher training. Ensuring that forklift components and systems are working properly is key to maintaining operator safety and workplace productivity. A forklift’s brake assembly should be inspected daily: both brake pedal resistance and parking brake engagement. The brakes are one of the most relied-upon components of safety and should be inspected daily before the forklift is put to use.
Engine Overhauling : Most Engines overtime wear out due to heat and normal wear and tear. Some deteriorate faster from being driven too hard, not enough lubrication (engine oil low or none at all). Also lack of basic maintenance can wear an engine quicker. Engine Overhaul clearly means the complete dismantling of the engine, to bring all clearances back to factory specifications. May include replacing pistons and rings, crank, piston rod and camshaft bearings. May include machining of the crankshaft. Refacing of valves, checking clearance on valve stems, and will include replacement of all gaskets and seals, Oil & water pumps, ignition system and injection/carburation of fuel.
An overhauled engine may be better than a factory engine.
If you require an engine overhaul, it may be more economical to have a “remanufactured “ engine installed.
