Warehouse Parts At Your Service When You Need It Most
When warehouse equipment needs part replacements, orders need to be expedited and delivered fast. To make the ordering process faster, there are several tips to get replacement parts in a hurry:
. Check previously ordered parts and inventory control data for model, make and serial numbers
. Have pertinent business information ready when opening a new account
. Check previous pricing on parts to compare current prices
. Provide accurate shipping and delivery information to avoid delays

Keep A Warehousing Parts List Handy
One sure way to speed up ordering of warehouse equipment is to keep a warehousing parts list handy for all of the equipment used regularly. This might include parts like forklift engine parts, brakes, ignition, fuses, filters, motors, hydraulic parts, hoses, couplers, steering and electrical parts as well as parts for pallet and smaller mobile hand trucks. Look for brands that are recognized in the hydraulic, automotive and trucking equipment and parts industry. Some of these brand names include Hyster, AC, Komatsu, Yale and Caterpillar. These manufacturers offer reliability and equipment and parts are sold with warranties against defect and manufacturing damage. Create a forklift parts supply list with as much detailed information that can easily be provided to the warehousing equipment supplier via email or fax.
 

Regular Maintenance Reduces Down Time
Another way to avoid costly warehouse equipment breakdowns is to perform monthly inspections of this equipment. If forklift parts show signs of early wear and tear, a regular inspection will subvert a potential problem before it occurs. Check standard forklift parts like the tilt lift indicator. Make certain the lift angle is correct for parking and traveling. If not, consider replacing this part. This is also true of the height lift indicator and the blade tilt indicator, where applicable.
 

Inspect And Replace As Needed
In addition to monitoring parts, levels and indicators, check couplers, clamps, electrical connectors, bearings, seals, coils, springs, lamps and fans. When forklift equipment receives high levels of wear and tear, it's a good idea to consider ordering in duplicate for specific parts that are wearing more quickly. Seats, tires and wheels generally are subject to regular daily use and more wear. There's a definite need to inspect and replace parts before they damage goods, cause accidents or become inoperable and cost unnecessary outlays of time and money.
