In winter, the choice of diesel fuel needs to be adjusted according to the geographical temperature. The area south of the Yangtze River can choose 0 # diesel, while the northeast, northwest and border areas such as cold areas should be selected -35 ℃ diesel, other regions in the severe winter should be selected -20 ℃ diesel. As the temperature decreases, the viscosity of the oil will increase, resulting in poor mobility, frictional resistance increases, diesel engine start-up difficulties. Therefore, it should be timely replaced with less viscous oil to ensure the normal operation of the engine.
In addition to engine oil, the choice of hydraulic oil is also critical. In winter, the hydraulic system and hydraulic transmission system should be equipped with the replacement of hydraulic and hydraulic transmission oil suitable for winter use, in order to prevent the viscosity of the fluid becomes large and lead to the work of the device and the transmission system work poorly. At the same time, the transmission, reducer also need to be replaced with winter gear oil, hinge mechanism, wheel bearings need to be filled with low-temperature grease to provide better lubrication.
Brake fluid selection should not be ignored. Brake fluid with good low-temperature fluidity and low water absorption should be used, and moisture should be prevented from mixing in to avoid freezing and causing brake failure. Drain switch can be used to discharge the water in the pipeline of the braking system to prevent it from freezing, and the brake fluid with poor performance should be replaced in time.
In addition, the battery of electric forklift also needs special attention in winter. Due to the lower outdoor temperature, the power supply capacity of the battery may be affected, resulting in a short time of forklift power. Therefore, the maintenance of forklift batteries should be taken seriously.
Routine inspection work should be carried out before forklift operations in winter. This includes checking whether the forklift and battery power generation is normal, whether the starter motor is working properly, and whether there is any aging of the body wiring. These checks will ensure that the forklift does not experience problems during operation due to leaking batteries or insufficient power supply.
For forklift battery troubleshooting methods, if the forklift is not used for a long period of time in winter (more than two weeks), it is recommended to remove the battery and place it in a warm place to prevent the battery from freezing and damaging. When the weather temperature is lower than 10℃, it is better to bring the electric forklift and battery to the factory for charging or parking, and avoid charging the forklift overnight outdoors or in low temperature environment. Before using every day, you should make sure the battery power is sufficient, but avoid charging with high current for a long time, so as not to affect the service life of the battery by overcharging.
In summary, reasonable oil and water replacement and inspection as well as maintenance of electric forklift batteries are the key to ensure the normal operation of forklift trucks in winter. By following the above guidelines, you can ensure that your forklift trucks will perform optimally in all temperature conditions.
