Used Parts for Forklifts
Used Forklift Parts - Without doubt, forklift parts will eventually wear out and require replacing. The choice of buying new parts can become costly so one more idea is to obtain used parts. This can save a lot of cash eventually. It is a good idea to obtain used lift truck parts that have been reproduced. These parts will ensure that you are getting components which will work for a long time and be productive.
Remanufacturing worn out or broken components is a less expensive method in general compared to rebuilding. With rebuilding components, only the components that are worn out or broken get replaced, which means that other wearable components can break down soon after purchase.
Remanufacturing however provides the best assurance for used components. Remanufactured parts are taken apart and cleaned and then all wearable pieces are changed. All wearable components are replaced regardless of age or wear which is another reason why remanufactured components overall work so much better. Whatever component within the part is brand new and this offers far longer life to the second-hand part. Based on the lift truck parts which are being redone, the cleaning process and the complete remanufacturing process would vary.
After complete disassembly, the engines are oven cleaned. Different parts of the engine such as pistons, spark plugs, rings, valve springs, filters, and valves can be replaced during the remanufacture process. The engines are hot tested after reassembly to ensure that there are no noise, no oil pressure problems, no leaks or any vacuum.
Transmissions are oven cleaned, pressure washed, and disassembled. A comprehensive inspection is performed so as to check for any cracks. Seals, bearings and bushings are all replaced. Typically, the replacement components used on transmission components meet OEM specifications.
Some components like for example torque converters, the alternator, the water pump, the starter and steer axles could obtain longer serviceability after being remanufactured and having all wearable parts 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 parts. Unlike several lift truck components the control card can only have the worn and aged components replaced.
Parts which are reproduced have to be thoroughly examined upon reassembly to guarantee they are in good condition previous to being sold. When acquiring these components, it is a good idea to be certain that they have undergone all of the proper testing and inspections. On certain larger components like for example steer axles, engines and transmissions, OEM specification replacement parts must be used.
The lift truck dealer could guarantee that the parts they have remanufactured meet the OEM specifications. This will even guarantee the components meet industry standards. Lots of details go into remanufacturing used parts. This attention to detail provides more serviceability out of reproduced parts opposed to the components that were simply rebuilt.
