fork carriage problem

TRIPLEX MAST, free lift
When lifting fork carriage (at high speed) it jams somehow and force to lift inner mast. than when you stop lifting this inner must falls down.
I cleaned and lubricated mast rails, rollers are OK, space RS is a little too much....but i think it is better much then less...
What else can be wrong? any experience?
thanks

check the seals by all means but if this is a fluid displacement cylinder then there are no seals on the ram, they are all in the packing nut on top of the cylinder shell where the ram comes out.
You are going to have to remove the cap/packing nut anyway to get access to the inside of the freelift cylinder so once you do this remove the ram and look in the base of it and check the safety flow valve. Make sure it is there and intact, if it is not then it may have come apart and is laying down in the bottom of the cylinder in smashed up pieces.

I have see quite a few of these do the exact thing you speak of and pretty much always it was that safety valve causing a misstaging problem. Usually caused by the snap ring failing that holds the valve in.

Its called mis staging. Freelift cylinder may have bad inner seal

Hey Tantadruj, just an idea can you control if the free lift cylinder has got a down safety valve sometimes it's inside the cylinder or on the outside nipple.

Thanks Adams1
I'm also thinking about air in cylinders....
Can you give me a part number of pressure valve? Are you thinking about line brake safety valve? Can you show me on the picture....

check for a pressure valve going to the primary lift cylinder. sounds like its weak and sending oil to the secondaries as well

Check if the lift cylinder is in the right place maybe you remove both
cylinder and when you return it it was swoop. If this will happen this
problem will occur.

Best regards,

Hello Tantadruj; we've experienced that when the diameter is to small the oil flow isn't correct.
Don't know exactly what it must be, we had that problem whit a Komatsu.
I'm not saying that hose diameter is your problem it is just an idea and we experienced that in the past.
I'll hope you can solve your problem.
Kind regards
Marcb

Hey Tantadruj, has somebody changed a hose of the free lift cilinder? we had the same problem in de past, somebody changed the hose but the inside diameter was wrong so at high speed it lifted the 2 outside cilinders as well.
