Inspect a Forklift

There are more than 10,000 workplace injuries connected to forklifts occur each year, based on HRSDC and OSHA reports. Many of these mishaps are caused by operator error. Lack of appropriate equipment check and maintenance causes numerous others. Forklift maintenance and operation is not just the reason for personal injuries, but also of property damage. Forklifts could damage building structures, overhead pipes and sprinklers, and other machines when utilized incorrectly. The following daily check ups must be done in order to lessen the chance of forklift mishaps.



Turn the engine off before inspecting different fluid levels: fuel, engine oil, hydraulic oil, coolant and brake fluid. The tires must be inspected for indications of wear and tear. Check the tire air pressure. Check the condition of the forks. The load backrest should be attached securely. Do a visual inspection of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Afterward carry out an inspection of the hydraulic hoses, mast chains, cables and stops. Make sure that both the overhead and finger guards are securely attached.



The LP powered forklift has propane tanks that have to be checked for damage, rust or corrosion. The battery's electrolyte levels and charge have to be tested periodically. Seat belts have to be checked for wear and tear. Check to make certain the owner's guidebook is stored on-board the forklift inside a storage compartment. Check the seat belt to make certain the latches are secure. Check the hood latch to make certain that it is working as it should.



Start the forklift and listen to the noise of the engine to make certain there are no unusual sounds. If there are, investigate promptly. Test the accelerator and the steering controls. The parking break and the service break should be correctly working.



To ensure proper functioning in both forward and reverse, the drive control and tilt control must be inspected. The functioning of the hoist, the lowering control and attachment control needs periodic checking. Test the lights and horn. After that check the heater, defroster and wipers to make sure they are working smoothly. Check each and every gauge to ascertain that it is reading within functional limits.
