Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift usage within North America average roughly over 10,000 each year, based on the statistics from OSHA and the HRSDC. Some injuries are caused by the lack of maintenance of the machine and proper equipment inspection. Other injuries are due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only concern related to forklift operation and maintenance. One more serious issue is damage to property. Forklift accidents can lead to damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other machines as well as building walls. By completing thorough inspections every day, you can help reduce forklift injuries.
You must first turn the engine off before checking the forklift. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, brake fluid, hydraulic oil and coolant. Visually inspect the machine's tires looking for indications of wear, appropriate air pressure and general condition. Visually check the forks on the front of the equipment too. Verify the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Make sure that the backrest is attached firmly. Make sure that both the overhead and finger guards 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 using LP or liquid propane forklifts. Check for any signs of corrosion, damage or rust. Be sure that the battery has enough levels of electrolyte and which is sufficiently 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 make certain that it is functioning as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it latches securely and is functioning properly.
You could turn the engine on after you have completed all the steps mentioned above. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds immediately. Check that both the parking brake and the service brake are properly working. Make sure that the accelerator and the steering controls are functioning at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is used most frequently to keep the flow of operations running as efficiently and smoothly as possible. Though forklifts are a large investment, the amount of man hours they can save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting could make the purchase pay for itself in little time.
There are numerous different units and manufacturers of forklifts on the market. Various models are made to accomplish various tasks. So as to make certain that you don't purchase more than you require or the wrong kind of machinery, it is vital to assess the needs of your business and compare to the different models offered on the market. Speaking with a certified forklift distributor is a very great idea and so is doing your own research online.
When looking at forklifts by fuel type, the following types are available:
Electric: The electric forklift is run by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These heavy and large batteries can run a machinery for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric models are best suited for indoor use because of their lack of emissions. They are a common alternative for warehouses and retail spaces since they provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation and put zero emissions into the air where individuals are working.
Internal Combustion: The IC engine operates on a variety of different fuels like CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, LP or liquid propane or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion units could carry heavier loads, are easier to refuel and accelerate faster. These models are typically more expensive to use compared to their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the latest in forklift technology. These units provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion model but offer the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts.
