Nylon Wear Pad (Fem 3 Fork Carriage)
In order to ensure that the fork carriage nylon blocks
are reliable and have the optimum performance,
additional maintenance is required during the initial
bedding in period and during periods of infrequent use
of the Truck Mounted Forklift.
The Truck Mounted Forklift is supplied with a stabilizing
kit which includes lubricant for this purpose. Cargotec
Ireland recommends the use of Maxol Super Grease or
similar spray grease with PTFE, extreme resistance to
washout and extreme pressure.
The lubricant must be applied to the entire length of
the channel that the nylon blocks slide in, once per
week. This should be done after using the machine to
give the grease time to adhere to the channel section.
This must be done until the nylon block has worn
through the layer of paint and the metal surface of the
channel on which the blocks slide appears polished.
Corrosion or a lack of lubrication on the steel channels
may cause the nylon blocks to stick or judder when
lifting a load or mounting the Truck Mounted Forklift. In
situations where this occurs the frequency of lubrication
must be increased to prevent damage to the nylon
blocks or the machine structure.
