Inspect a Forklift
According to HRSDC and OSHA statistics, there are about ten thousand forklift-related worklplace injuries each year within North America. Several injuries are caused by the lack of proper equipment inspection and maintenance of the machine. Other injuries are due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only problem related to forklift operation and maintenance. Another serious concern is damage to property. Forklift accidents could lead to damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other machinery as well as building walls. By completing thorough inspections each day, you can help reduce forklift injuries.
When beginning an inspection, turn off the engine. 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, correct air pressure and general condition. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the equipment too. Confirm the condition of the heel and top-clip retaining pin. Check that the backrest is attached firmly. Make certain that the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually inspect the cables and stops, the mast chains and the hydraulic hoses as well.
On liquid propane or LP forklifts, check the propane tank. Check for any indications of rust, corrosion or damage. Be sure that the battery has adequate electrolyte levels and that is charged adequately. Visually inspect all belts. Check to confirm the location of the owner's manual and make certain it is located in the designated on-board storage compartment. Confirm the hood latch and make certain that it is operating as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it latches securely and is functioning properly.
You could turn on the engine after you have completed all the steps mentioned above. Listen carefully to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds right away. Make certain that both the parking brake and the service brake are correctly functioning. Confirm that the steering controls and the accelerator are working at optimum performance levels.
Fork trucks are usually used to keep these operations running smoothly and efficiently. Though forklifts are a huge 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 many different units and manufacturers of forklifts available on the market. Various units are made to accomplish different tasks. In order to make certain that you don't buy the wrong kind of machinery or purchase more than you need, it is vital to evaluate the requirements of your business and compare to the different models on the market. Speaking with a qualified forklift distributor is a great idea and so is doing your own research on the internet.
When looking at forklifts by fuel type, the following types are available:
Electric: Electric forklifts utilize heavy, large, rechargeable batteries which are lead-acid based. These batteries are able to run for approximately 5 or 6 hours straight. Electric models are ideal for indoor use due to their lack of emissions. They are a popular option for warehouses and retail spaces because they put zero emissions into the air where individuals are working and provide a relatively low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: The internal combustion engine works on a variety of different fuels like CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, LP or liquid propane or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion units are easier to refuel, accelerate faster and can carry heavier loads. These models are usually more expensive to utilize compared to their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: The latest in forklift technology is the Hydrogen fuel cell. These units provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion unit but provide the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts.
