Ins­truc­tions

How can I chan­ge pal­let truck rollers?

Thanks to the high-qua­li­ty and robust manu­fac­tu­ring, it can take years befo­re a cas­tor needs to be repla­ced. Howe­ver, dama­ged, worn or other­wi­se impai­red rol­lers for lift trucks must be repla­ced. In addi­ti­on, the rol­lers are part of the annu­al inspec­tion pre­scri­bed by DGUV V 68. A sui­ta­ble employee must be used for this inspec­tion and replacement.

If you only want to chan­ge the rol­lers on a pal­let truck, this is usual­ly no pro­blem and may be imple­men­ted by any expe­ri­en­ced employee. To do this, you need the appro­pria­te repla­ce­ment rol­lers, the rest is usual­ly self-expl­ana­to­ry on the device.

You only have to make sure that the pal­let truck is secu­red when chan­ging rol­lers and that it must then be tho­rough­ly che­cked again for its sui­ta­bi­li­ty for use. This visu­al inspec­tion can be car­ri­ed out by every user and is a dai­ly duty under occu­pa­tio­nal health and safe­ty law.

We would be plea­sed to advi­se you per­so­nal­ly on the sel­ec­tion of fork rol­lers / pal­let truck rol­lers and pro­vi­de you with fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on on our exten­si­ve ran­ge for trans­port in the warehouse and in the factory.

Which tyres do I need?

You can find infor­ma­ti­on about which tyres you need on the type pla­te behind the draw­bar of your lift truck. If this is no lon­ger legi­ble or no lon­ger pre­sent, mea­su­re your old lift truck fork rol­lers to deter­mi­ne the appro­pria­te model. You will need the fol­lo­wing measurements:

• Wheel dia­me­ter
• Wheel width
• Instal­la­ti­on dimension
• Axle dia­me­ter

The­se four fac­tors are an if-then sel­ec­tion. For exam­p­le, as soon as you deci­de on a requi­red rol­ler dia­me­ter (which must match the respec­ti­ve lift truck), we auto­ma­ti­cal­ly high­light the asso­cia­ted opti­mum or pos­si­ble other fac­tors. In this way, you can also see whe­ther the rol­ler you have sel­ec­ted has the load capa­ci­ty you ulti­m­ate­ly require.

For many makes we have saved the exact dimen­si­ons in our file, so that we can alre­a­dy deter­mi­ne the right cas­tor for you by spe­ci­fy­ing the lift truck type.
