Inspect a Forklift
HRSDC and OSHA report that over 10,000 workplace injuries related to fork lifts happen each year. Driver error is the cause of many of these mishaps. Lack of appropriate equipment check and maintenance causes numerous others. Maintenance and operation of a forklift is not only the reason for personal injuries, but also of damage to property. Forklifts can damage sprinklers, building structures and overhead pipes, and other machinery when used wrongly. The following day by day check ups must be performed so as to lessen the likelihood of forklift accidents.
Prior to inspecting various fluid levels turn off the engine. Check these fluids: engine oil, hydraulic oil, fuel, coolant and brake fluid. The tires also have to be checked for indications of wear and tear. Check the tire air pressure. Check the forks' condition. The load backrest should be attached securely. Do a visual inspection of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Afterward carry out an inspection of the hydraulic hoses, mast chains, stops and cables. Ensure that both the overhead and finger guards are securely attached.
LP forklifts have propane tanks that need to be inspected for indications of corrosion, damage or rust. Test the battery's charge and electrolyte levels. All belts should be inspected for wear. Check to make certain the owner's handbook is kept on-board the forklift in a storage compartment. Check the seat belt to make certain the latches are secure. Check the hood latch to ensure it is working as it should.
To make sure there are no unusual engine sounds, start the engine up and listen for any irregularities. If there are, investigate promptly. Test the steering controls and the accelerator. The service brake and the parking break should be working properly.
To guarantee proper functioning in both forward and reverse, the tilt control and drive control must be checked. The functioning of the hoist, the lowering control and attachment control requires periodic checking. Test the horn and lights. Afterward check the wipers, heater and defroster to make sure they are functioning well. Inspect every gauge to find out that it is reading within functional limits.
How to Replace Forklift Tires
Forklift maintenance involves regularly checking the tires. This also includes replacing worn or damaged tires. Various kinds of forklifts are designed to be utilized with particular kinds of tires: solid, pneumatic or polyurethane. Tire types differ depending on things such as load weight, ground surfaces and duration and frequency of use. To be able to change a forklift tire you will need the following tools: replacement tires, forklift jack and tire press. Replacing your forklift tires periodically is vital to help prolong the equipment's lifespan.
Instructions
1 Methodically check the tires for signs of damage and wear. Make certain that the kind of tire on the forklift is the correct kind. If the wear on the tire is over 40%, the tire should be replaced.
2 You must purchase spare or replacement tires.
3 After you have positioned the jack underneath the tire, slowly lift the forklift high enough which will allow you to easily take out the tires.
4 To separate the rim from the tire, utilize the tire press and remove the old tire. Replace the tire with the new one and tightly secure. Lower the forklift, then move the jack to the next tire and do the same thing with the other damaged tire.
5 A damaged tire may be fixed on site by a local repair company. If this is your first call, the repair company may provide a free estimate. If the tires are very big, you will require a stationary tire press. In that case, you must remove the tire and bring it to a repair shop.
