Used Parts for Forklifts
Used Forklift Parts - Inevitably, lift truck parts would eventually wear out and need replacing. The choice of obtaining brand new parts could become costly so another idea is to buy used parts. This can save a lot of money in the long run. It is a great idea to obtain used forklift parts which have been reproduced. These components would guarantee that you are getting components that will work for a long time and be productive.
Remanufacturing worn out or broken components is a more cost effective way in general than rebuilding. With rebuilding parts, just the components which are broken or worn out get replaced, which means that other wearable parts might break down soon after purchase.
Remanufacturing on the other hand offers the best guarantee for used components. Reproduced parts are taken apart and cleaned and then all wearable pieces are replaced. All wearable parts are replaced regardless of age or wear which is one more rationale why remanufactured parts in general function so much better. Whichever component within the part is new and this provides much longer life to the second-hand part. Based on the lift truck components which are being redone, the cleaning process and the complete remanufacturing process will differ.
The engines are cleaned after a complete disassembly. Different engine parts such as spark plugs, pistons, rings, valve springs, filters, and valves can be replaced during the process of remanufacturing. The engines are hot tested after reassembly to ensure that there are no leaks, no noises, no oil pressure problems or any vacuum.
Transmissions are one more item which is oven cleaned after being disassembled. The transmission is then pressure washed. A complete inspection is done so as to check for any cracks. Seals, bearings and bushings are all replaced. Normally, the replacement parts used on transmission components meet OEM specifications.
Certain forklift parts like for instance the alternator, the water pump, torque converters, steer axles and the starter could be quite serviceable after worn components are replaced. The electronic control in the electric lift truck is maintained by the control card. This card could even be reproduced with replacing all aged and worn out parts. Unlike different forklift parts the control card could only have the worn and aged parts replaced.
Components which are reproduced have to be thoroughly inspected upon reassembly to ensure they are in good condition previous to being sold. When buying these components, it is a good idea to make certain that they have undergone all of the proper testing and inspections. On certain larger parts like for instance engines, transmissions and steer axles, OEM specification replacement parts must be used.
The dealer of used lift trucks and parts could ensure that the remanufactured parts have met OEM specifications and that these components meet industry standards. A lot of details go into remanufacturing used parts. This attention to detail provides more serviceability out of reproduced parts compared to the components that were only rebuilt.
