BATTERY & CHARGER MAINTENANCE
We can provide additional battery rental which could double your productivity.
Lead acid, lithium ion and quasar batteries are the beating heart of many operations. Without comprehensive care and maintenance, battery life can quickly and dramatically reduce, leading to more frequent charging, increased downtime and decreased profits.
Poor care and maintenance can lead to
- Dramatically reduced run time
- Decreased lift capacity
- Increased charging frequency
- Increased downtime and decreased profits
- Cell damage
- Electric shocks
- Overheating and fires
- Decreased operator safety
We offer premium battery care to keep your battery performing optimally.
From a one off battery health check to a full maintenance package of regular service inspections.
Chargers
The performance of a premium battery depends on the quality of it’s last charge.
Regular charger inspections ensure that your chargers are fully functional so batteries are not damaged during the charge cycle.
Poorly functioning chargers massively reduce run time, leading to more frequent charging and a decrease in productivity.
Increase your battery’s performance by investing in charger care.
TYRES
Worn and damaged tyres can have a significant impact on the performance and safety of a forklift.
Here are some potential impacts:
- Reduced traction: Worn and damaged tyres may have less grip, which can make it harder for the forklift to stop or change direction quickly. This can increase the risk of accidents, especially in wet or slippery conditions.
- Increased braking distance: Worn and damaged tyres may increase the time required to stop the forklift due to reduced friction between the tyre and the ground.
- Reduced stability: Worn and damaged tyres can affect the stability of the forklift, particularly when carrying heavy loads. The forklift may be more prone to tipping over or sliding.
- Increased fuel consumption: Worn and damaged tyres may increase the rolling resistance of the forklift, which can lead to increased fuel consumption and higher operating costs.
- Increased maintenance costs: Worn and damaged tyres can cause damage to other parts of the forklift, such as the suspension or steering components, which can increase maintenance and repair costs over time.
Regular care and attention should be given to tyre and wheel health to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Should wear or damage occur, Northern Materials Handling can provide a fast replacement service, with the majority of tyres and wheels in stock.
