FORKLIFT MAINTENANCE

In general, treatment can be defined as the efforts, actions including reparations made to Ensure that the conditions and performance the machine as like it as new. But with the lowest cost treatment. Maintain the condition and performance of the machine does not have to decrease is the technical business. Treatment costs are the lowest possible pressing is the shoptalk management.

As a means of production, heavy equipment must be treated as the withdrawal a production tool. That there is always in prime condition and can continue to work with down-time that may minimize as possible. These things can be achieved if the equipment was good when it purchased and good maintenance during it lifetime. The treatment is considered good if resulted in a minimum down-time but of course with cost of the lowest possible care.

Here you can see some cases that caused damage:

Damage due to the error / deviation maintenance portion of the highest rank, namely:
41%: Wrong way in the periodic maintenance
31%: Wrong way in the daily inspection Thus the error in the maintenance portion has a 72% and this quite large.

Thus, treatment / maintenance can mean the definitive are: the service activities to prevent the occurrence of Wear and tear is not normal (damage) so that the tool can reach the age or age appropriate recommended by the manufacturer.

Service activities include work as:
- Controlling
- Replacement
- Adjustment
- Improvement
- Testing

All of that is the total activity.
There are still many who assume that the mechanical maintenance / care is job light, such as: change oil, replace filter, clean the air filter, change the water cooling and some of the work day-to-day routine. Sometimes such as Overhaul, inspection machine, is not considered as a maintenance activity.

Thus, the maintenance was aiming for:
1. So that the tool is always something in the standby mode ready for use. (High = availability of efficient high Physic)
2. So that a tool is always in prime condition, efficient mechanical the most good (Best performance)
3. So that the cost of repairing tools to be more thrifty (Reduce repair cost)

In order for that purpose to achieve the necessary maintenance in organisir in such a way.

Next is the management organization.
