A new year is the perfect opportunity to reflect, reset, and prepare for the months ahead. For businesses that rely on forklifts, this is also the ideal time to ensure your equipment is ready to handle the demands of the year. A well-maintained forklift doesn’t just ensure safety—it boosts productivity and reduces costly downtime.
Here’s why starting the year with a CT Power forklift check-up is a smart move and how you can prepare your equipment for success in 2025. Contact CT Power today!
Safety first: protect your team and business
Forklift safety should always be a top priority. Over time, wear and tear can compromise critical components like brakes, hydraulics, and tyres. Starting the year with a thorough inspection ensures your forklift meets safety standards and minimises the risk of accidents.
Reduce costs with preventative maintenance
Ignoring small issues can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the line. Routine maintenance and servicing help you catch and fix minor faults before they escalate. This saves money on repairs and avoids unexpected breakdowns that can disrupt operations.
Hard Work Is Our Standard
Start the year with a checklist of essential forklift components to inspect, including:
Battery or fuel systems: for electric forklifts, ensure the battery is holding a full charge. For diesel or LPG forklifts, check fuel systems for leaks or blockages.
Tyres: look for wear, cracks, or damage. Properly inflated and maintained tyres ensure stability.
Brakes: ensure they respond promptly and aren’t making unusual noises.
Load test: conduct a load test to ensure your forklift can safely lift and handle its rated capacity. This helps verify that the hydraulic system, forks and other load-bearing components are functioning safely and as intended.
Hydraulics: check for fluid leaks and ensure the lift mechanism operates smoothly.
Forks: look for cracks, bends, or excessive wear, as these can compromise safety and performance.
The start of the year is also a good time to assess your forklift fleet’s overall needs. Do you need additional forklifts to handle increased demand? Are there old models that need replacing? Contact CT Power forklifts today.
