Safety Information – Mast Rollers for Forklifts

In line with Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety (GPSR), the following rules apply to the safe use of mast rollers (mast bearings) in forklifts.

1. Intended Use
   Mast rollers guide mast sections during lifting/lowering of forks. Use only with structurally compatible forklift models. Do not modify or use in other assemblies.
2. Installation
   To be fitted by qualified service personnel or experienced technicians. Ensure correct seating and retention; diameter/shape must match the manufacturer’s specification.
3. Operation
   Rollers must run in clean, properly lubricated channels. Contamination or lack of lubrication accelerates wear and may cause seizure.
4. Operating Conditions
   Use as per the truck manufacturer’s guidance; avoid excessive dust and moisture without proper maintenance.
5. Maintenance
   Before operation, inspect raceways and bearings. Replace immediately if cracks, play, raceway wear or rotation resistance are detected. Regular lubrication extends service life.
6. Hazards of Misuse
   • mast jamming,
   • uneven lifting performance,
   • increased risk of mast damage or accidents.
7. Transport & Storage
   Store dry and clean, protected from corrosion and mechanical damage.
8. Disposal
   Dispose of used rollers via metal scrap collection. Do not discard with household waste.
