2.5 Must-Checks Before Starting Your Monsoon Rain-Resistant Forklift: Skip 1 = 30% Failure Rate!

Date: Jul 08, 2025

[Real Case Study]

Singapore – Mr. Lim, Port Manager at Sinotrans Global Logistics, still feels a chill recalling last year's monsoon season. Failure to check the brake system on a Monsoon Rain-Resistant Forklift led to a sudden skid upon startup, crashing into $30,000 worth of shelving. This year, the company implemented Hengwang's HWCY-50A Rain-Resistant Forklifts and a strict inspection checklist. They've achieved 8 consecutive months with ZERO accidents and are now a recommended service provider by the Singapore Port Association.

Step 1: Check Tire Pressure – The Wet Season's "Silent Killer"

Wet monsoon surfaces demand precise tire pressure. Ensure it's within ±0.2 bar of the standard value. Top up low pressure immediately to prevent "wheel spin on the spot".

Step 2: Clean Motor Ventilation Grilles – The Short Circuit Trigger

Splashed rain carrying mud into vents causes shorts. Blow out debris and water with compressed air. Cleaning vents is mandatory before starting any Monsoon Rain-Resistant Forklift.

Step 3: Test Brake Sensitivity – The Wet Season's Lifeline

Press brakes to verify braking pressure (12-15 MPa). Repair immediately if pressure is low or response is delayed. One logistics firm skipped this check: their Monsoon Rain-Resistant Forklift lurched forward on startup, causing $80k in damage.

Step 4: Lubricate Mast Channels – The Wet Season's Anti-Jam Agent

Apply lithium-based grease to channels to reduce friction and water corrosion. Doing this on a Monsoon Rain-Resistant Forklift reduces mast jamming by 90%.

Step 5: Confirm Battery Charge >80% – The Wet Season's Power Core

Below 80% charge, a Monsoon Rain-Resistant Forklift draws higher startup current, risking controller burnout. Charge immediately if low.

Skip 1 Check = 30% Failure Rate!

Sinotrans, rigorously following the checklist, reduced Monsoon Rain-Resistant Forklift failures by 72%. Hengwang Monsoon Rain-Resistant Forklifts feature built-in waterproofing. Combined with the checklist, they ensure efficient monsoon operation without breakdowns.
