Inspect a Forklift
Based on OSHA and HRSDC statistics, there are approximately 10,000 forklift-related worklplace injuries every year in North America. Several injuries are caused by the lack of maintenance of the machinery and correct equipment inspection. Other injuries are due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only problems that are related to the operation and maintenance of forklifts. Another serious issue is damage to property. Forklift accidents could cause damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other machines and building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you can help reduce forklift injuries.
When starting an inspection, turn off the engine. Check the levels of the fuel, engine oil, brake fluid, hydraulic oil and coolant. Visually check the tires of the equipment looking for indications of wear, general condition and appropriate air pressure. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the machine as well. Verify the condition of the heel and top-clip retaining pin. Check that the backrest is securely attached. Confirm that both the overhead and finger guards are attached. Visually inspect the cables and stops, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains too.
You should inspect the propane tank if you are using liquid propane of LP forklifts. Check for any indications of rust, corrosion or damage. Be certain that the battery has enough electrolyte levels and that is adequately charged. Visually check all belts. Check to verify the location of the owner's handbook and make certain it is situated in the designated on-board storage compartment. Confirm the hood latch and make certain that it is functioning as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make certain it latches securely and is working properly.
You could turn on the engine after you have completed all the steps mentioned above. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any unusual sounds immediately. Make sure that both the service brake and the parking brake are properly functioning. Make sure that the accelerator and the steering controls are functioning at optimum performance levels.
Fork trucks are normally utilized to keep these operations working smoothly and efficiently. Even if forklifts are a huge investment, the amount of man hours they can save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting can make the purchase pay for itself in little time.
There are numerous different units and manufacturers of forklifts on the market. Different units are designed to accomplish various jobs. So as to make sure that you don't purchase the wrong kind of equipment or purchase more than you need, it is really important to assess the requirements of your company and compare to the various units on the market. Talking to a qualified forklift distributor is a great idea and so is doing your own research online.
When looking at forklifts by the type of fuel, the following kinds are available:
Electric: The electric forklift is run by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These large and heavy batteries could run a machinery for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric units are ideal for indoor use due to their lack of emissions. They are a popular alternative for warehouses and retail spaces because they put zero emissions into the air where people are working and provide a relatively low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: Internal combustion forklifts operate with a variety of fuels. Some models take CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, LP or liquid propane or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion models accelerate faster, are easier to refuel and could carry heavier loads. These units are typically more pricey to operate compared to their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the newest in forklift technology. These models provide the fast refueling capability of an IC unit but offer the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts.
