Lift truck trucks are really big and powerful pieces of industrial equipment. In order for them to work efficiently and smoothly, hundreds of different parts go into the manufacturing process. A lot of parts should be replaced on regular basis due to damages and breakages.
The forklift is a really versatile machinery, with a wide assortment of accessories able to be fitted onto the equipment. These accessories could increase the lift truck's capabilities and expand the tasks they are regularly able to finish. Some of the key different forklift accessories and components are described below.

The seals and bearings on the forklift allow the inner workings on the machinery to function optimally and efficiently. Bearings enable two moving parts of the machinery to smoothly work together, without any friction. If not correctly fitted, bearings and seals could sometimes wear down or even break and these components might need to be replaced occasionally. If a bearing is the proper type of bearing utilized for the equipment and it is fitted properly, this specific forklift component can easily outlive the life expectancy of the whole machinery.
Cabs
