Bearings are crucial components in forklifts, reducing friction and ensuring smooth operation. They are widely used in wheels, steering systems, mast assemblies, and transmission parts. Common types include ball bearings, roller bearings, and tapered bearings, each selected based on load capacity and durability needs. High-quality bearings enhance efficiency, reduce wear, and extend forklift lifespan. Proper lubrication and maintenance prevent premature failure, ensuring safety and performance in material handling operations. Bearings contribute significantly to forklift reliability in demanding industrial environments.
