Maintenance & Servicing – Crane and Forklift Tipping Skip FLTS 2013C

To keep your Crane and Forklift Tipping Skip FLTS 2013C safe and reliable, it’s important to clean the tipping mechanism, heel pins, and release catch after each use. This prevents material build-up and ensures continued performance.
