Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift usage within North America average around over 10,000 every year, based on the statistics from OSHA and the HRSDC. Several injuries are caused by the lack of correct equipment inspection and maintenance of the machine. Other injuries are due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only concern related to forklift operation and maintenance. One more serious concern is property damage. Forklift accidents can cause damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other equipment as well as building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you can help reduce forklift injuries.
You must first turn off the engine prior to checking the forklift. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, brake fluid, hydraulic oil and coolant. Visually check the tires of the equipment looking for indications of wear, general condition and correct air pressure. Visually check the forks on the front of the machinery too. Confirm the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Check that the backrest is attached firmly. Make certain 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 utilizing liquid propane of LP forklifts. Check for any signs of damage, rust or corrosion. Be certain that the battery has enough electrolyte levels and which is adequately charged. Visually check all belts. Check to confirm the location of the owner's instruction manual and make certain it is situated in the designated on-board storage compartment. Verify the hood latch and confirm that it is operating as it is supposed to. Inspect the seatbelt and make certain it is working properly and securely latches.
After doing the above steps, turn the engine on. Listen carefully to the engine. Investigate any unusual sounds right away. Check that both the parking brake and the service brake are properly functioning. Confirm 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 though forklifts are a big 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 numerous different models and manufacturers of forklifts on the market. Different units are made to accomplish various tasks. So as to make certain that you don't purchase more than you need or the wrong type of equipment, it is really important to assess your company's needs and compare to the different units on the market. Speaking with a authorized forklift distributor is a very good idea and so is doing your own research on the internet.
When looking at forklifts by the kind of fuel, the following kinds are available:
Electric: Electric forklifts use heavy, large, rechargeable batteries that are lead-acid based. These batteries are able to run for approximately 5 or 6 hours straight. Electric models are ideal for indoor applications because of their lack of emissions. They are a common option for warehouses and retail spaces as they put zero emissions into the air where people are working and provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: The internal combustion engine operates on a variety of different fuels like CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, liquid propane or LP or gasoline. In comparison to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion units accelerate faster, are easier to refuel and could carry heavier loads. These models are typically more expensive to operate than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: The latest in forklift technology is the Hydrogen fuel cell. These units provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion model but offer the zero emissions and quietness of electric forklifts.
