Ensuring Peak Performance: Overhaul and Recertification of Power Pack Accumulators

At Spektr Group, we take pride in our commitment to precision maintenance, and our recent work on the Doosan Model D30G forklift exemplifies this dedication. Here’s a detailed overview of the maintenance and repair actions undertaken:

  1. Bearing Replacement:
    • To ensure optimal functionality, six damaged bearings in the forklift mast were expertly replaced. This critical step contributes to the smooth and efficient operation of the mast.
  2. Hydraulic Hose Replacement:
    • Addressing potential leaks and preserving hydraulic system integrity, five damaged hydraulic hoses were systematically replaced. This not only prevents operational issues but also extends the lifespan of the hydraulic system.
  3. Driver Seat Repair and Replacement:
    • Prioritizing operator comfort and safety, the driver’s seat mechanism underwent thorough repair. Additionally, a new seat cover was installed, providing an enhanced and secure seating environment for the forklift operator.
  4. Dashboard Reassembly:
    • The forklift’s dashboard, a central control and monitoring hub, was meticulously reassembled. This step ensures the restoration of all control functions, allowing for seamless operation and monitoring during forklift use.

These precision maintenance and repair actions collectively contribute to placing the Doosan Model D30G forklift in optimal working condition. Beyond functionality, they prioritize the safety and comfort of the operator, creating a secure environment for efficient material handling operations.

At Spektr Group, precision in maintenance and repair is our hallmark. In our recent service and recertification endeavor, we undertook the meticulous process of revamping the eight hydraulic b;adder accumulators in the power pack unit. Here’s a detailed account of the steps we took to enhance their functionality and structural integrity:

Dismantling and Retrieving Hydraulic Oil:

The first step involved the careful dismantling of all eight hydraulic bladder accumulators, followed by the retrieval of hydraulic oil from each unit.

Bladder Pressure Relief:

The bladder pressure was relieved using a specialized nitrogen kit, ensuring a safe and controlled process.

Bladder Disassembly and Inspection:

The bladders were disassembled from the cylinders to undergo a thorough examination. An MPI inspection of the accumulator body together with assessment of the NBR bladders were carried out to identify any potential issues. Subsequent to the examination, certain damages were discerned on the bladders, and these findings were carefully documented. The documented evidence has been promptly submitted to the customer, substantiating the need for replacement.

Surface Treatment:

To address potential corrosion issues, the cylinder surfaces and frame underwent blasting and painting, ensuring a protective layer for enhanced longevity.

Assessment and Replacement:

The inspection unveiled worn bladders in all eight accumulators. Furthermore, corrosion was noted on the bodies, prompting an extensive examination through MPI, subsequently followed by thorough blasting and painting processes. Separate NDT and Blast/Paint reports have been furnished to the customer, offering comprehensive documentation to substantiate the thorough maintenance measures undertaken.

Replacement of Repair Kits:

To ensure optimal performance, all bladders and seal kits (repair kits) were replaced with new ones. Hydraulic side adaptor dowty seals were also replaced to guarantee a comprehensive refurbishment.

Nitrogen Gas Filling:

Nitrogen gas, crucial for proper accumulator function, was filled into each unit. Different pressures were applied according to specifications, with seven accumulators at 1400 PSI and one at 105 PSI.

Reassembly:

Finally, with all necessary components renewed and inspected, the accumulators were meticulously reassembled onto the frame and reattached to the unit.


This comprehensive maintenance process, comprising inspection, repair, and refurbishment, aims to ensure the optimal functionality and structural integrity of the hydraulic accumulators. The replacement of damaged bladders, surface treatment to address corrosion, and the installation of new repair kits contribute to enhancing the accumulators’ performance and longevity.
