Inspect a Forklift

There are over 10,000 workplace injuries connected to forklifts occur each year, based on OSHA and HRSDC reports. A lot of these accidents are caused by driver error. Lack of appropriate equipment maintenance and check results in numerous others. Forklift operation and maintenance is not just the reason for personal injuries, but also of property damage. Forklifts could damage sprinklers, building structures and overhead pipes, and other machines when incorrectly operated. The following day by day check ups must be performed so as to lessen the chance of forklift mishaps.



Prior to inspecting various fluid levels turn the engine off. Check these fluids: hydraulic oil, fuel, engine oil, brake fluid and coolant. The tires also have to be checked for signs of wear and tear. Check the air pressure in the tires. Check the forks' condition. The load backrest must be firmly attached. Do a visual inspection of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Next carry out an inspection of the mast chains, hydraulic hoses, stops and cables. Ensure that both the finger and overhead guards are firmly attached.



LP forklifts have propane tanks that have to be inspected for indications of corrosion, damage or rust. Test the battery's charge and electrolyte levels. All belts must be inspected for wear. Check to make sure the owner's guidebook is kept on-board the forklift inside a storage compartment. Check the seat belt to make sure the latches are secure. Check the hood latch to make certain that it is functioning as it should.



Start the forklift and listen to the engine noise to make certain there are no unusual sounds. If there are, investigate at once. Check the accelerator and the steering controls. The parking break and the service break must be properly functioning.



The drive control and tilt control should be checked to guarantee proper functioning in both reverse and forward. Check the functioning of the lowering control and hoist, and the attachment control. Check the lights and horn. Then check the defroster, wipers and heater to make sure they are functioning smoothly. Inspect each gauge to find out that it is reading within functional limits.
