Inspect a Forklift
Based on OSHA and HRSDC statistics, there are approximately 10,000 forklift-related worklplace injuries each year within North America. Several injuries result from the lack of proper equipment inspection and maintenance of the machine. Other injuries are due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only concern related to forklift maintenance and operation. Another serious problem is damage to property. Forklift accidents can lead to damage to overhead pipes, sprinklers, and other equipment and building walls. By completing thorough inspections each day, you could help lessen forklift injuries.
You must first turn the engine off 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 indications of wear, general condition and correct air pressure. Visually check the forks on the front of the machine too. Confirm the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Check that the backrest is securely attached. Make sure that both the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually check the stops and cables, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains too.
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 certain that the battery has adequate levels of electrolyte and which is adequately charged. Visually check all belts. Check to confirm the location of the owner's manual and make sure it is located in the designated on-board storage compartment. Verify the hood latch and confirm that it is operating as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it is functioning properly and latches securely.
You could turn the engine on after you have completed all the steps mentioned above. Listen carefully to the engine. Investigate any unusual sounds right away. Make certain that both the service brake and the parking brake are properly functioning. Make sure that the accelerator and the steering controls are working at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is utilized most frequently to keep the flow of operations running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Though forklifts are a large investment, the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting and the amount of man hours they could save can make the purchase pay for itself in little time.
There are numerous different models and manufacturers of forklifts available on the market. Various models are designed to accomplish various tasks. So as to make sure that you don't purchase more than you need or the wrong type of equipment, it is very essential to evaluate your company's requirements and compare to the various units on the market. Talking to a authorized forklift distributor is a very great idea and so is doing your own research online.
When looking at forklifts by the type of fuel, the following kinds are available:
Electric: Electric forklifts utilize heavy, large, rechargeable batteries which are lead-acid based. These batteries are able to run for about 5 or 6 hours straight. Electric units are great for indoor use due to their lack of emissions. They are a popular option for warehouses and retail spaces 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 operates on a range of different fuels such as CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, liquid propane or LP or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the internal combustion or IC models accelerate faster, are easier to refuel and can carry heavier loads. These units are normally more expensive to operate compared to their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: The newest in forklift technology is the Hydrogen fuel cell. These units provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion model but provide the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts.
