Warehouse Forklift Maintenance

Having a proper maintenance program for forklifts will help to increase the lifespan of the machine and is also a vital factor to the safe operation of the equipment. Completing forklift check ups regularly and performing preventive maintenance on a regular basis will help to ensure the efficient and safe use of the machinery.



Daily Checklist

In any forklift maintenance program, the daily checklist is an invaluable tool to have. These checklists would document any possible issues. They are required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or the OSHA. The daily checklists could also be audited by OSHA during any routine inspection. Operators are required to complete the inspection from the beginning of their shift. If any major problems are found, the forklift can not be utilized until the issue has been fixed.



Maintenance and Safety Go Hand-in-Hand

In the US, there are roughly 100 deaths related to forklift mishaps and statistic show that almost 20,000 individuals are seriously injured too. This number translates to represent 54 individuals a day, 7 days a week, for the whole year. A lot of these accidents could be prevented easily if the forklift had been correctly serviced and maintained. In some circumstances, it may seem like a cost savings to skip or delay routine maintenance, although, these savings will pale in comparison to the cost of a single mishap.



Items to be Serviced

The manufacturers owner instruction manual will include a recommended maintenance schedule. Schedules would differ depending on each and every manufacturer and every kind of forklift. Each schedule would contain various basic things. For example, in a combustion engine, the oil filters and the engine oil should be periodically replaced. Hydraulic levels would need to be checked as well. Be certain to inspect hoses for any signs of cracking. Additional things include the electrical systems, the brakes and the transmission of the forklift.
