Inspect a Forklift
Based on HRSDC and OSHA statistics, there are about 10,000 forklift-related worklplace injuries every year in North America. Several injuries result from the lack of maintenance of the machine and proper equipment inspection. Other injuries are because of operator error.
Injuries are not the only issue related to forklift operation and maintenance. Another serious issue is property damage. Forklift accidents can lead to damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other machines and building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you could help lessen forklift injuries.
You should first turn off the engine before inspecting the forklift. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid and hydraulic oil. Visually inspect the tires of the machinery looking for signs of wear, appropriate air pressure and general condition. Visually check the forks on the front of the equipment too. Verify the condition of the heel and top-clip retaining pin. Check that the backrest is firmly attached. Make certain that the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually inspect the stops and cables, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains as well.
You should inspect the propane tank if you are utilizing liquid propane of LP forklifts. Check for any indications of damage, rust or corrosion. Be sure that the battery has adequate electrolyte levels and that is adequately charged. 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. Verify the hood latch and confirm that it is functioning as it is supposed to. Inspect the seatbelt and make sure it is functioning properly and securely latches.
You could turn on the engine after you have done all the steps mentioned above. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds right away. Check that both the service brake and the parking brake are functioning correctly. Make certain that the steering controls and the accelerator are working at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is used most often to keep the flow of operations working as efficiently and smoothly as possible. Even if 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 models are designed to accomplish different jobs. In order to make sure that you don't buy more than you need or the wrong kind of machine, it is very essential to evaluate the requirements of your company and compare to the various models offered on the market. Speaking with a authorized forklift distributor is a very great idea and so is doing your own research online.
When looking at forklifts by the kind of fuel, the following kinds are available:
Electric: Electric forklifts use large, heavy, rechargeable batteries that are lead-acid based. These batteries are able to run for about 5 or 6 hours straight. Electric models are great for indoor use because of their lack of emissions. They are a common choice for retail spaces and warehouses because they put zero emissions into the air where people are working and provide a relatively low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: The internal combustion engine works on a range of different fuels such as compressed natural gas or CNG, others take diesel, liquid propane or LP or gasoline. In comparison 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 expensive to use than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: The latest in forklift technology is the Hydrogen fuel cell. These models provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion unit but offer the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts.
