Wear and tear on spare parts

To keep your Manitou telescopic handler running smoothly, it is important to regularly check the condition of its parts. Here are some tips on how to assess their wear and tear:

1. Tyres and wheels

Check the tread depth and for cracks or uneven wear. If the tyres are worn or have cuts, they should be replaced.

2. Hydraulic hoses and connections

Inspect the hoses for cracks, oil leaks or swelling. Even minor damage can lead to serious damage.

3. Chains and telescopic arm

Check the chains for wear and tear and the smoothness of the boom extension. Backlash or creaking sounds may indicate that components need to be replaced.

4. Brake system

Check that the brakes operate crisply and without delay. If there are squeaks or the machine brakes harder, have the brake discs and pads checked.

5. Filters and fluids

Check the condition of the air, fuel and oil filters. If they are dirty, the engine will run under increased load, which can cause it to overheat.
