Inspect a Forklift
According to HRSDC and OSHA statistics, there are roughly 10,000 forklift-related worklplace injuries each year within North America. Some injuries are caused by the lack of maintenance of the machinery and proper equipment inspection. Other injuries are caused by operator error.
Injuries are not the only issues which are related to the operation and maintenance of forklifts. One more serious issue is property damage. Forklift accidents could cause damage to overhead pipes, sprinklers, and other machinery as well as building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you could help reduce forklift injuries.
You must first turn off the engine before checking the forklift. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, hydraulic oil, coolant and brake fluid. Visually check the machine's tires looking for signs of wear, general condition and correct air pressure. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the machinery as well. Verify the condition of the heel and top-clip retaining pin. Check that the backrest is attached firmly. Confirm that the overhead and finger guards are attached. Visually inspect the stops and cables, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains as well.
You should inspect the propane tank if you are using LP or liquid propane forklifts. Look for any signs of corrosion, damage or rust. Be certain that the battery has enough electrolyte levels and that is adequately charged. Visually inspect all belts. Check to confirm the location of the owner's handbook and make certain it is situated in the designated on-board storage compartment. Verify the hood latch and confirm that it is operating as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it is functioning properly and securely latches.
You could turn on the engine after you have done all the steps mentioned above. Listen carefully to the engine. Investigate any unusual sounds right away. Check that both the parking brake and the service brake are properly functioning. Confirm that the steering controls and the accelerator are working at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is utilized most frequently to keep the flow of operations running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Though forklifts are a big investment, the amount of man hours they can save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting could make the purchase pay for itself eventually.
There are numerous different units and manufacturers of forklifts on the market. Different units are designed to accomplish different jobs. In order to make certain that you don't purchase more than you need or the wrong type of machine, it is very vital to assess the requirements of your business and compare to the different units available on the market. Speaking with a qualified forklift distributor is a good idea and so is doing your own research online.
When looking at forklifts by the type of fuel, the following types are available:
Electric: The electric forklift is powered by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These large and heavy batteries can run a machine for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric units are great for indoor use due to their lack of emissions. They are a common alternative for retail spaces and warehouses because they put zero emissions into the air where people are working and provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: IC forklifts operate with a variety of fuels. Several models take compressed natural gas or CNG, others take diesel, liquid propane or LP or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion models can carry heavier loads, accelerate faster and are easier to refuel. These models are usually more pricey to use than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the newest in forklift technology. These units provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion unit but offer the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts.
