10 Warning Signs Your Forklift Needs Repairs
Forklifts are the workhorses of Australian warehouses, construction sites, and distribution centres. But even the toughest machines have their limits. Ignoring early signs of trouble can lead to costly repairs, dangerous breakdowns, and productivity loss. So, how do you know when it's time to act? Here are 10 common warning signs that your forklift might be due for some professional attention. If your forklift starts making clunking, screeching, or whining sounds, don't ignore them. These noises often point to mechanical wear, damaged bearings, or hydraulic system issues. A healthy forklift should operate relatively quietly. Oil, hydraulic fluid, or coolant leaks are clear indicators that something isn't right. Leaks can cause major damage if left untreated and also pose slip hazards in the workplace. Regular inspections should catch leaks early, but any sign of dripping should be addressed immediately. Just like your car, your forklift's warning lights shouldn't be ignored. Whether it's a battery alert, engine warning, or hydraulic system notification, these indicators are telling you to stop and investigate. If steering feels stiff, jerky, or unresponsive, it could be due to low hydraulic fluid levels, power steering failure, or tyre issues. Since steering is vital to forklift safety, any changes in handling should be checked by a professional. When your forklift struggles to accelerate or loses power mid-shift, it's likely due to a fuel system or engine issue. Electric forklifts might also show this symptom when battery health deteriorates or motor parts begin to fail. Tyres don't just wear down from use—they also reflect alignment problems and unbalanced loads. Worn tyres can affect stability, turning radius, and braking distance, which is why they should be checked regularly. Engines or motors that overheat regularly may be suffering from poor airflow, blocked radiators, or failing cooling systems. Overheating leads to major damage if not dealt with quickly. If your forklift hesitates or jerks while raising or lowering loads, the hydraulic system may be to blame. This is not only inefficient—it's a serious safety risk, especially when handling heavy pallets. Spongey, delayed, or noisy brakes are never a good sign. Braking issues are among the most critical warning signs, as they directly affect the safety of your team and equipment. Get your brakes checked immediately if they feel different from usual. If your forklift is burning more fuel or draining battery faster than normal, it's likely working harder than it should. Worn components, clogged filters, or outdated systems could be contributing to inefficiency. When any of these issues arise, don't delay repairs. Continuing to operate a forklift in poor condition increases risks and leads to more expensive breakdowns in the long run. If you're looking to repair forklift quickly and professionally in Western Australia, West Coast Forklifts is the go-to team. Their experienced technicians offer onsite service, diagnostics, and fast turnarounds to keep your machinery running at peak performance. Your forklift won't always tell you when it's in trouble—but these warning signs are the next best thing. Stay alert, schedule regular maintenance, and don't hesitate to call in the experts when something feels off. By taking action early, you'll protect your investment, your team's safety, and your productivity. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Heir to an empire, Ferdinand Habsburg seeks new crown at Le Mans
Ferdinand Habsburg poses prior to the 24 Hours of Le Mans where he will drive in the elite class for Alpine (JEAN-FRANCOIS MONIER) If the Austro-Hungarian Empire still existed, Ferdinand Habsburg would be next in line to sit on the throne, instead he will be sharing a driver's seat this weekend in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The 27-year-old Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard Habsburg-Lothringen is the great-grandson of Charles I, who stood aside as the last Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary in November 1918 on the day World War I ended. Advertisement "Ferdi" will start his fifth Le Mans on Saturday, his second in the premier Hypercar class, sharing driving duties in an Alpine with Charles Milesi and Paul-Loup Chatin. "The goal is to win. Of course. But for me personally, it's to just enjoy it. You know, in the end, it's such a cool experience to be in Le Mans," he told AFP. The heir apparent to the House of Habsburg-Lothringen was born in Salzburg. As a child he dabbled in music, football, fencing and horse riding. "I was a child that was not able to sit still," he said. "It was torture for me!" Advertisement Then he discovered karting. "And I was like, OK, finished. Finished with everything else," he said. "My parents taught me something: If you like something, you follow it." He started competing. "I had no clue about anything. Then it just went step by step by step," he said. "I won the Austrian championship. It was a surprise for everyone." He rose through the motor-racing classes, reaching Formula 3 in 2017. "It became clear that I was too old or not successful enough for F1," he said good-naturedly. In 2019, he switched to the German Touring Car Championship without making a splash. Advertisement In 2021, he moved to the World Endurance Championship and in his first 24 Hours of Le Mans, finished first in his class. His relaxed manner makes him popular in his team. "He's the one who always sets the mood, no matter what the situation," said Milesi. "He's quite sunny," said Chatin. "He has a great capacity for concentration, regardless of the results." - 'Everything I could ever want' - Ferdinand's father Karl Habsburg-Lothringen long ago formally surrendered all claim to the Austrian throne but remains the head of the Habsburg family. Karl is coming to Le Mans for the first time to watch his son, the royal racing driver. Advertisement "It was a surprise for a lot of my family, but mainly because I will become the head of the house. My father is the head of the house Habsburg and I will inherit this title. For example, if someone in our family wants to get married, they have to ask my father for permission. This is still a tradition. I will inherit this role and for them to think that I'm a racing driver and not something a bit more serious... is a shock." Ferdinand says that despite the illustrious name, his father's family, whose assets were taken over by Austria in 1919, are not in a position to underwrite his career. "After World War I, when my great-grandfather was in exile, he started with zero again. From being the emperor to being zero," Habsburg said. His mother, on the other hand, is from the Thyssen industrial dynasty. Advertisement "I was lucky that my mother's family came from wealth and I was able to financially support my racing career in the beginning." Ferdinand, a devout Catholic, recently passed his bus driving test so he can do more in his work with young people "like the Boy Scouts". "We have a lot of prayer together, but also hiking in nature," he said. "The idea is to bring boys from all different backgrounds together to show kind of role models in life." He is driving for charity this weekend. "The idea is for every lap in Le Mans to feed one child extra for a whole year. "If I win the race, all of my prize money goes as well," he said. "I have more than I need. I have everything I could ever want for." hdy/cpb/pb/ea

WTC Final 2025: Rabada Shines as South Africa Dismantle Australia
WTC Final 2025: Rabada Shines as South Africa Dismantle Australia originally appeared on Athlon Sports. South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada claimed five wickets on the opening day of the ICC World Test Championship Final at Lord's, dismantling Australia's batting lineup for just 212 runs. Advertisement The veteran pacer struck early, removing Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green in a fiery new-ball spell, before returning to complete his 17th five-wicket haul in Test cricket. Captain Temba Bavuma elected to bowl after winning the toss, placing responsibility on Rabada to set the tone, a task the seamer embraced with precision and pace. '212, we'd take that,' Rabada told reporters after stumps. 'We thought we should've had them at 160, but that's just the way the game goes.' Australia, who looked vulnerable at 146 for five, were rescued by Beau Webster. The all-rounder steadied the innings with a vital 72-run knock, resisting South Africa's momentum just as it seemed the defending champions would collapse further. Advertisement 'Yeah, he didn't start off too well there, looked like he was going to get out any ball, but I guess his positive intent got him through,' Rabada said, acknowledging Webster's fighting spirit. Rabada's final wicket of Webster was more than just a breakthrough; it elevated him past legendary quick Allan Donald to become South Africa's fourth-highest wicket-taker in Test history. 'To be named in that list of bowlers is special,' he reflected. 'As a player growing up and representing South Africa, I've been inspired by those who have come before… To be listed among those names is special, and long may it continue.' Despite the Proteas' early dominance, the Australian pace attack hit back before close. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins each took a wicket, reducing South Africa to 43 for four. Advertisement 'We're 43/4, not the start we were looking for,' Rabada admitted. 'But there's a lot of cricket to be played in this Test match. So we're just going to keep going for it.' This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
