Battery Care Instructions

-

 

1)       Always fill distill water in  each battery cell individually after charging the battery, never before.

2)       Do not overfill the battery as it will lead to spilling of water and cause damage.

3)       Never discharge a forklift battery below a 20% state of charge. Discharging a forklift battery below a 20% state of charge will cause the battery’s voltage to drop and damage forklift.

4)       Recharge batteries after full use only. Do not charge in small intervals as this will damage the battery and reduce life. Once 20 % charge is left , put it for full 8 hours non-stop charging till it is 100 % charge.  Once that process is complete, it equates to (1) charge cycle. Regardless of whether you discharge the battery 30% or 50%, it still equals (1) charge cycle consumed.  Remember 1 battery has 1500 charge cycle life so maximize that fully.

5)       Perform Equalizing charge once a month. It reverses the buildup of negative chemical effects where acid concentration is greater at the bottom of the battery than at the top.

6)       Always keep battery top, links and side clean @ regular intervals

  The Different Forklift Mast Types Simplex Mast (V Mast) Also known as a “single-stage” mast, a simplex is known for its limited lifting height and lack of free lifting capabilities. It’s typically used for outdoor projects or lifting objects onto a truck. Duplex Mast (Full Free Lift, FFL, Hi-Lo, FV Mast) Also known as a “two-stage” mast, a duplex does come with the free lift capabilities that a simplex mast lacks. The visibility provided by a duplex is one of the biggest reasons it is so widely used, particularly in trailers. This mast type is also great for cross-docking, stacking, and double-stacking products. Triplex Mast (Triple, TSU, FSV Mast) Also known as a “three-stage” mast, a triplex is optimized for loading and unloading products at higher elevations than the previous two-mast types. Triplex masts are also known for their ability to extend things forward, which is why they are frequently used with reach trucks. Because of these attributes, triplex mast...
