Reach Truck Electric Forklift Maintenance Process

- General Inspection
- Clean the forklift
- Check the overall frame (no deformation)
- Check safety devices
- Lights, rearview mirrors, fire extinguisher, seat
- Retrieve error history and clear after maintenance (for Linde forklifts)
- Reset maintenance reminder timer
- Hydraulic and Lifting System
- Check play in mast and forks
- Operate mast forward/backward and up/down at maximum speed and observe visually
- Check play in lifting bearings
- Operate mast forward/backward and up/down at maximum speed and observe visually
- Check pulleys and rollers of hydraulic pipes
- Shake pulleys and rollers directly
- Allowed play: 10mm
- Check rollers every 2000 hours
- Check fork carriage channel, chains, and chain tension (if stretched)
- Allowed elongation ≤ 3% compared to new chain length
- Check hydraulic hoses and connectors
- Inspect wear, oil leaks at connectors and hoses
- Check lift rods and seals
- If any rod leaks oil, recommend seal replacement
- If rods are scratched, recommend rod plating or replacement
- Check seals inside lift cylinder piston: Lift maximum load to 1m height, measure fork height (H1), wait 10 minutes, measure again (H2); H1 – H2 ≤ 100mm
- Check tilt cylinder seals: Lift maximum load to 2.5m, tilt forks fully up, measure fork height (H1), wait 10 minutes, measure again (H2); H1 – H2 < 5%
- Check hydraulic pump (lifting/lowering)
- Measure lifting speed (0.44m/s) and lowering speed (0.54m/s)
- If speeds are lower, clean or repair pump if severe
- Check steering motor (power steering system)
- Turn steering wheel fully and observe
- Motor noise check: if noisy, replace motor bearings
- Check bearing play on motor
- Check steering wheel play
- Check sensors
- Inspect mast sensors for wear from contact with rails
- Check mast brake sensor functionality
- Check oil filter and hydraulic oil (quantity, cleanliness)
- Oil tank capacity of R115 model = 30L; check oil level within Min-Max limits
- Replace hydraulic oil and filters every 5000 operating hours (2500 hours for cold storage environment)
- Lubrication
- Use Grease DIN 51825
- Apply thin layer on mast, sliding rails, battery tray
- Pump grease into grease nipples until excess grease appears
III. Brake System
- Check brake fluid
- Brake fluid quantity = 0.25 L, type DOT 3
- Replace brake fluid every 10000 hours or 5 years
- Check brake calipers (2 sets inside wheels, monitor during use)
- Low brake fluid triggers error and slows forklift
- Check parking brake: forklift on 10% slope must not roll back
- Check service brake: forklift runs unloaded at 5 km/h, release accelerator and apply brake; stopping distance ≤ 1.33m
- If calipers leak visible oil, remove and inspect seals, clean and repair (repair quote)
- Check hydraulic lines for leaks or damage
- Inspect hoses for coating peeling, fabric fraying, or steel braid corrosion
- Check or adjust brake pad wear every 2000 hours
- Remove front wheels, measure brake pad thickness; pad thickness ≥ 2mm
- Clean dust and dirt
- Check parking brake cable and magnetic brake (Reach Truck specific)
- If gap > 0.8mm, replace magnetic brake discs
- Drive and Steering System
- Check steering wheel play
- Allowed play ≤ 5mm
- Check wheel bearings
- Spin wheels; if grinding noise occurs, bearings are worn and must be replaced
- Check and lubricate steering bearings
- Listen for noise when steering
- Average life: 5000 hours
- Use Grease DIN 51825 on gears
- Check tire wear and air pressure (for pneumatic tires)
- Measure remaining PU layer thickness; standard: ≥ 50% of original thickness
- Check for cracks or breaks in PU layer
- Check wheel mounting bolts for cracks or looseness; retighten if necessary
- Check wheels for debris or wires wrapped around
- Check axle
- Listen for abnormal noises during operation
- Inspect for oil leaks
- Replace axle oil every 2000 hours
- Remove motor and change axle oil (~4 liters per forklift)
- Electrical System
- Check lights, horn, fuse box, connectors, and clean contactors
- Clean circuit boards externally using compressed air only
- Inspect commutator, carbon brushes, motors and clean externally with compressed air
- Check charger system
- Ensure charging area safety
- Check charger connectors are intact
