Used Parts for Forklifts
Used Parts for Forklifts - Unavoidably, lift truck parts would eventually wear out and require replacing. The option of obtaining new components could become costly so one more idea is to obtain used parts. This could save much money in the long run. It is a great idea to buy used forklift components that have been remanufactured. These components will guarantee that you are getting components which will work for a long time and be productive.
Worn or broken parts that are reproduced are a very cost effective answer as opposed to rebuilding. With rebuilding parts, just the parts which are worn out or broken get changed, which means that other wearable components could break down soon after purchase.
Remanufacturing on the other hand provides the best guarantee for second-hand parts. Reproduced parts are taken apart and cleaned and then all wearable pieces are changed. All wearable parts are replaced regardless of age or wear which is another rationale why remanufactured components on the whole run so much better. Whichever part within the part is brand new and this provides far longer life to the second-hand part. Depending on the lift truck components that are being redone, the cleaning process and the complete remanufacturing process would vary.
After complete disassembly, the engines are oven cleaned. Various parts of the engine such as pistons, spark plugs, rings, valve springs, filters, and valves could be replaced during the remanufacture process. The engines are hot tested after reassembly to guarantee that there are no noise, no oil pressure problems, no leaks or any vacuum.
Transmissions are oven cleaned, pressure washed, and disassembled. A complete inspection is done to be able to check for any cracks. Bearings, bushings and seals are all replaced. Typically, the replacement components used on transmission parts meet OEM specifications.
Some lift truck parts like the water pump, torque converters, the alternator, steer axles and the starter can be quite serviceable after worn components are replaced. The electronic control in the electric forklift is maintained by the control card. This particular card could even be reproduced with replacing all aged and worn out components. Unlike other forklift parts the control card could only have the worn and aged components replaced.
Parts that are reproduced have to be comprehensively checked upon reassembly to guarantee they are in good condition before being sold. When acquiring these components, it is a good idea to be sure that they have undergone all of the proper testing and inspections. On certain bigger components like for example engines, transmissions and steer axles, OEM specification replacement parts must be utilized.
The lift truck dealer could ensure that the parts they have reproduced meet the OEM specifications. This will also ensure the components meet industry standards. Lots of details go into remanufacturing second-hand components. This attention to detail provides more serviceability out of reproduced components than the parts that were just rebuilt.
