Hover over the hotspots to identify critical forklift parts and common failure points.
Common Failure Points
-
Hydraulic Drift: Usually caused by worn seals in the lift cylinder. We recommend replacing seals every 2,000 hours.
View Seal Kits → -
Axle Overheating: Often due to dragging wet disc brakes on Kessler axles. Check the cooling oil circulation pump.
View Axle Parts → -
ECU Communication Error: Can bus wiring faults are common in port environments. Check the harness continuity before replacing the ECU.

Diagnostic Workflows
Step-by-step guides for fixing common forklift issues.
diagnosing Low Hydraulic Pressure
Symptom: Slow lifting speed or inability to lift rated load.
- Check hydraulic fluid level and filter condition. Clogged filters cause cavitation.
- Connect a pressure gauge to the main pump test port. Rated pressure should be ~240 bar (for Kalmar).
- If pressure is low, adjust the relief valve. If no change, the gear pump internal wear is likely excessive.
Engine Cranks But Won’t Start
System: Volvo TAD / Cummins QSB Common Rail Diesel.
- Check fuel rail pressure during cranking. Minimum 300 bar required.
- Inspect the camshaft position sensor signal using an oscilloscope.
- Verify the ECU fuse and main relay operation.
Wet Disc Brake Failure
System: Kessler / Rockwell Drive Axle.
If pedal is spongy, bleed the brake lines. If braking is weak but pedal is firm, check the accumulator pre-charge pressure (Nitrogen).

Material Science: Why Generic Seals Fail
Cheap aftermarket seals cause internal bypass in forklift hydraulic cylinders. We use Viton? and PTFE composites engineered for the high-pressure spikes of reach stacker operations.
