As leading suppliers and direct importers in the material handling equipment industry, we understand how critical it is for our customers to maintain their equipment effectively. If you’re using a reach truck, it's essential to keep an eye on the condition of its wheels. Here are five signs that indicate it may be time for a replacement:
1. Visible Damage
What to Look For :
Inspect the tire sidewalls and tread for cracks, cuts, or gouges.
Why It Matters :
Worn-out wheels can lead to uneven movements, decreased maneuverability, and even accidents. Severe wear can escalate further damage to your reach truck, making timely replacement essential for safety and performance.

2. Unusual Vibrations
What to Look For :
If you feel unusual vibrations while operating the reach truck, it may indicate tire damage or an imbalance.
Why It Matters :
Damaged or uneven wheels affect stability and can impact the truck's capacity to carry loads smoothly. These vibrations may also put additional stress on other components, potentially leading to more costly repairs in the future.

3. Reduced Performance
What to Look For :
Notice any decrease in load capacity or issues with lifting and transporting loads.
Why It Matters :
Worn or damaged wheels can significantly diminish the reach truck’s overall performance, resulting in slower operations and decreased efficiency. In high-traffic environments, this inefficiency can hinder productivity and operational output.

4. Noise Issues
What to Look For :
Listen for unusual sounds such as squeaking, grinding, or clunking while the truck is operational.
Why It Matters :
These sounds may indicate damage to the wheels or wheel bearings, affecting operator comfort and potentially signaling underlying mechanical issues. Prompt attention to these noises can prevent more significant problems down the road.

5. Wheel Slippage
What to Look For :
Watch for slipping or skidding on flat surfaces during acceleration, deceleration, or turns.
Why It Matters :
Worn polyurethane wheels can lose grip and traction, leading to dangerous slipping situations in environments where precision is crucial. This not only poses safety risks but can also increase energy consumption, negatively affecting overall performance.
