Resolving Tilt Issues on a Manitou All-Terrain Forklift
At Farm and Fleet Services, we specialise in diagnosing and repairing faults in heavy-duty machinery, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. In this case study, we detail how we resolved a mast tilting issue on a Manitou All-Terrain Forklift, a vital piece of equipment for agricultural and construction operations.
The Problem
The customer reported that the mast was tilting forward when the forklift was not in use, posing a safety risk and reducing operational efficiency. After a thorough inspection, we traced the fault to the crowd and tilt rams, where the seals had deteriorated and broken down.
Our Solution
To address the issue, our expert technicians carried out the following steps:
- Stripped Down the Rams: We dismantled the crowd and tilt rams to access the damaged components.
- Replaced the Seals: The broken seals were replaced with high-quality, durable replacements to restore functionality.
- Cleaned the Filter: We thoroughly cleaned the hydraulic filter to remove any debris caused by the broken seals.
- Topped Up Hydraulic Oil: Fresh hydraulic oil was added to ensure smooth operation and optimal performance.
- Comprehensive Testing: After reassembly, we tested the forklift to confirm the mast tilt issue was fully resolved.
The Result
The Manitou All-Terrain Forklift was returned to the customer in excellent working condition, with the mast tilt issue completely resolved. Thanks to our efficient and professional service, the forklift is now safe and reliable for heavy-duty use.
