Forklift Bearings and Seals
The seals and bearings on the forklift enable the inner workings on the machine to function optimally and efficiently. Bearings allow two moving components of the machinery to smoothly work together, without any friction. If not fitted properly, bearings and seals can occasionally wear down or even break and these parts may need to be replaced periodically. If a bearing is the correct kind of bearing for the machine and it is correctly fitted, this particular forklift component could easily outlive the life expectancy of the whole machinery.
