Decommissioning the industrial truck
If the truck is to be decommissioned for a long period, it must be parked in a frost-free and
dry location.
On decommissioning the truck must be jacked up so that all the wheels are clear of the
ground. This is the only way of ensuring that the wheels and wheel bearings are not
damaged.
If the truck is to be out of service for more than 6 months, further measures must be taken in
consultation with the manufacturer’s service department.
Prior to decommissioning
Clean the truck thoroughly.
Check the brakes
Check the hydraulic oil level and top up if required.
Apply a thin layer of lubricating oil or grease to all nonpainted mechanical components.
Lubricate the truck in accordance with the lubrication schedule.
Remove the battery and recharge it at least once per month.
Clean the battery and apply specialised grease to the terminals.
Spay all exposed electrical contacts with a suitable contact spray.
Charge the battery every two months to avoid depletion of the battery through self-
discharger.
Restoring the truck to operation after decommissioning
Thoroughly clean the fork truck.
Clean the battery. Grease the pole screws using pole grease and reconnect the battery.
Recharge the battery.
Check if the hydraulic oil contains condensed water and change if required.
Follow the daily checklist.
If there are switching problems in the electrical system, apply contact spray to the exposed
contacts and remove any oxide layers on the contacts of the operating controls by applying
contact spray repeatedly.
Perform several brake tests immediately after recommissioning the truck.
