Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift operation within North America average roughly more than 10,000 every year, based on the statistics from the HRSDC and OSHA. Some injuries result from the lack of maintenance of the machine and proper equipment inspection. Other injuries are due to operator error.

Injuries are not the only issue related to forklift operation and maintenance. One more serious concern is damage to property. Lift truck mishaps can result in damage to overhead pipes, sprinklers, and other machinery and building walls. By completing thorough inspections each day, you could help reduce forklift injuries.

You must first turn the engine off prior to checking the forklift. Check the levels of the fuel, engine oil, hydraulic oil, coolant and brake fluid. Visually inspect the machine's tires looking for indications of wear, general condition and correct air pressure. Visually check the forks on the front of the equipment as well. Verify the condition of the heel and top-clip retaining pin. Make sure that the backrest is attached firmly. Make sure that both the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually check the stops and cables, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains as well.

You should check the propane tank if you are using LP or liquid propane forklifts. Check for any signs of damage, rust or corrosion. Be certain that the battery has enough electrolyte levels and that is charged sufficiently. Visually inspect all belts. Check to verify the location of the owner's instruction manual and make certain it is located in the designated on-board storage compartment. Confirm the hood latch and make sure that it is functioning as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it is working properly and securely latches.

You can turn the engine on after you have done all the steps mentioned above. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds right away. Make sure that both the service brake and the parking brake are correctly functioning. Confirm that the steering controls and the accelerator are working at optimum performance levels.
