Inspect a Forklift
Based on OSHA and HRSDC statistics, there are around ten thousand forklift-related worklplace injuries each year within North America. Some injuries are caused by the lack of proper equipment inspection and maintenance of the machine. Other injuries are due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only issues which are related to the operation and maintenance of forklifts. Another serious problem is damage to property. Forklift accidents could cause damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other machinery and building walls. By completing thorough inspections every day, you could help reduce forklift injuries.
When starting an inspection, turn the engine off. Check the levels of the fuel, engine oil, brake fluid, hydraulic oil and coolant. Visually inspect the tires of the equipment looking for signs of wear, appropriate air pressure and general condition. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the machine too. Confirm the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Make certain that the backrest is attached securely. Make sure that the overhead and finger guards are attached. Visually check the stops and cables, the mast chains and the hydraulic hoses too.
You should check the propane tank if you are utilizing LP or liquid propane forklifts. Check for any indications of rust, corrosion or damage. Be sure that the battery has enough electrolyte levels and which is charged adequately. Visually check all belts. Check to confirm the location of the owner's manual and make certain it is situated 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 certain it securely latches and is working properly.
You could turn the engine on 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 properly. Make certain that the accelerator and the steering controls are working at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is utilized most often to keep the flow of operations running as efficiently and smoothly as possible. Even if forklifts are a large investment, the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting and the amount of man hours they can save could make the purchase pay for itself eventually.
There are many different models and manufacturers of forklifts available on the market. Different models are designed to accomplish different tasks. So as to make sure that you don't purchase the wrong kind of machine or purchase more than you need, it is essential to evaluate your company's requirements and compare to the different units on the market. Talking to a qualified forklift distributor is a good 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 large and heavy batteries could run a machine for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric units are great for indoor use due to their lack of emissions. They are a popular alternative for warehouses and retail spaces because they put zero emissions into the air where individuals are working and provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: The internal combustion engine works on a variety of different fuels such as CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, LP or liquid propane or gasoline. In comparison to electric forklifts, the internal combustion or IC models are easier to refuel, accelerate faster and can carry heavier loads. These models are usually more expensive to utilize than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the newest in forklift technology. These models provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion model but provide the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts.
