A reliable order picker keeps your warehouse operations smooth and efficient. Regular maintenance not only prolongs equipment life but also ensures a safer workplace. Follow these three practical tips to maintain your order picker effectively.
Start Your Day with a Quick Inspection
Start each shift by checking your order picker’s key components:
-
Forks and mast: Inspect for cracks, bends, or loose parts.
-
Tires and wheels: Ensure they are debris-free and in good condition.
-
Battery and connections: Look for corrosion or loose wires.
-
Safety controls: Test brakes, horn, and emergency stop functions.
Daily inspections prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.
Keep Your Battery and Hydraulics Healthy
Proper care ensures smooth operation and prolongs equipment life:
-
Battery: Recharge before it drops below 20% and keep terminals clean.
-
Hydraulic system: Check oil levels weekly and inspect hoses and fittings for leaks or wear.
Clean and Lubricate Key Components for Smooth Operation
-
Wipe down the platform, mast, and controls to remove dust and debris.
-
Lubricate chains, bearings, and mast rails according to the manufacturer’s schedule.
Regular cleaning and lubrication reduce wear and improve safety.
Final Tip: Don’t Skip Professional Maintenance
Even with daily care, arrange professional service every 6 months. Technicians can inspect electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical systems to ensure long-term reliability and safe operation of your order picker.
