Inspect a Forklift
OSHA and HRSDC report that over 10,000 workplace injuries related to fork lifts occur each year. Driver error is the cause of many of these mishaps. Lack of appropriate equipment inspection and maintenance results in numerous others. Maintenance and operation of a forklift is not just the cause of personal injuries, but also of damage to property. Forklifts can damage building structures, overhead pipes and sprinklers, and other machinery when wrongly operated. The following day by day check ups should be carried out so as to reduce the likelihood of forklift mishaps.

Before checking different fluid levels turn off the engine. Inspect these fluids: engine oil, hydraulic oil, fuel, coolant and brake fluid. The tires also need to be inspected for signs of wear and tear. Check the tire air pressure. Check the condition of the forks. The load backrest have to be attached firmly. Do a visual check of the top-clip retaining heel and pin. Afterward carry out an inspection of the hydraulic hoses, mast chains, stops and cables. Ensure that the overhead and finger guards are attached firmly.

The LP powered forklift has propane tanks which need to be checked for damage, rust or corrosion. The battery's charge and electrolyte levels need to be tested periodically. Seat belts need to be checked for wear and tear. Check to make certain the owner's guidebook is stored on-board the forklift in a storage compartment. Test the seat belt to make sure the latches are secure. Check the hood latch to make sure that it is functioning as it should.

To make certain there are no unusual engine sounds, start the engine up and listen for any irregularities. If there are, investigate at once. Check the accelerator and the steering controls. The parking break and the service break must be correctly working.

To guarantee proper functioning in both forward and reverse, the drive control and tilt control must be inspected. The functioning of the hoist, the lowering control and attachment control requires periodic inspection. Test the lights and horn. Then check the heater, defroster and wipers to make sure they are working well. Check each and every gauge to ascertain that it is reading within functional limits.
