Summary

Forklift oil pumps are essential components of forklift engines that ensure proper lubrication and cooling of the moving parts. They also help regulate the oil pressure and prevent engine damage due to overheating or friction. In this article, we will provide an overview of the functions and types of forklift oil pumps, as well as some tips on identifying a faulty oil pump and what to look for when buying a new one. We will also introduce you to our collection of forklift oil pumps from Pallet Jackson, a leading supplier of forklift parts and accessories.

Forklift Oil Pumps - An Overview of Functions and Features

A forklift oil pump is a device that draws oil from the oil pan and distributes it to various parts of the engine, such as the crankshaft, camshaft, pistons, valves, and bearings. The oil pump also maintains constant oil pressure in the engine, which is crucial for its performance and longevity. The oil pump is driven by a gear or chain that connects it to the crankshaft or camshaft. Depending on the design and configuration of the engine, the oil pump may be located inside or outside the engine block.

Forklift Oil Pump Collections at Pallet Jackson

At Pallet Jackson, we offer a wide range of forklift oil pumps that suit different models and engines of forklifts. Our oil pumps are made from high-quality materials and meet or exceed OEM specifications. We have four main types of forklift oil pumps in our collection:

External Gear Oil Pumps

These are the most common type of oil pumps used in forklifts. They consist of two meshing gears that rotate in opposite directions and create a suction and discharge action. They are simple, reliable, and easy to install and maintain.

Internal Gear Oil Pumps

These are similar to external gear oil pumps but have one gear inside another instead of two gears. They have a higher flow rate and pressure than external gear oil pumps but are more complex and expensive.

Vane Oil Pumps

These are oil pumps that use sliding vanes attached to a rotor that spins inside a circular chamber. Their variable displacement feature allows them to adjust the flow rate and pressure according to the engine's demand. They are more efficient and quieter than gear oil pumps but also more prone to wear and tear.

Piston Oil Pumps

These oil pumps use reciprocating pistons that move back and forth in cylinders. They have a high flow rate and pressure but are noisy and bulky. They are usually used in high-performance engines that require more lubrication.

Signs of a Faulty Oil Pump

A faulty oil pump can cause serious problems for your forklift engines, such as low oil pressure, excessive noise, overheating, reduced power, increased fuel consumption, and even engine seizure. Some of the common signs of a faulty oil pump are:

• Low or fluctuating oil pressure gauge reading
• The oil pressure warning light on the dashboard
• Engine overheating
• Metallic noises or grinding sounds from the engine
• Smoke or smell of burning oil from the exhaust
• Metal shavings or sludge in the oil
• Leaking or cracked oil pump

If you notice these signs, stop using your forklift immediately and check your oil pump. You may need to replace your oil pump if it is damaged or worn out.

Factors to Consider When Buying a Forklift Oil Pump

Consider several factors before purchasing when you need to replace your forklift oil pump. Some of the key factors are:

Compatibility with Forklift Model and Engine

Ensure that the oil pump you choose matches your forklift model and engine type. You can check your forklift manual or contact us for assistance.

Oil Pump Flow Rate and Pressure Requirements

You should also check your engine's flow rate and pressure requirements and compare them with the specifications of the oil pump. You should choose an oil pump that can deliver enough flow rate and pressure to lubricate your engine properly.

Material Quality and Longevity

You should look for an oil pump made of high-quality materials that can resist corrosion, abrasion, and deformation. A durable oil pump will last longer and save you money in the long run.

Ease of Installation and Maintenance

You should choose an oil pump that is easy to install and maintain. You should also have the necessary tools and skills to install and maintain your oil pump. Alternatively, you can hire a professional mechanic to do it for you.
