Hydraulic units repair

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. 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.

The major components of forklift hydraulic systems are:

The pump – produces a constant flow of hydraulic fluid to supply the control valve. Most forklifts use a gear-type pump. The pump consists of a pair of rotating gears that push the fluid in the opposite direction of the rotation.

The control valve – starts and stops the direction of fluid and controls where the fluid moves using spools. Without a control valve, forklift hydraulic pressure would be useless.

The relief valve – protects the hydraulic system from too much pressure. This part is considered a critical safety component of hydraulic forklift hydraulic pressure

The return line – returns the fluid to the tank. The return line completes the cycle of forklift hydraulics.

The proper usage and maintenance of a forklift will keep the forklift hydraulic pressure system in good working condition, without needing constant repair work. Contact us immediately when you find any problems for your hydraulic systems.
