Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift operation in North America average roughly more than 10,000 each year, according to the statistics from OSHA and the HRSDC. Several injuries are caused by the lack of maintenance of the machinery and proper equipment inspection. Other injuries are caused by operator error.
Injuries are not the only concern related to forklift operation and maintenance. Another serious problem is damage to property. Forklift accidents could lead to damage to overhead pipes, sprinklers, and other equipment as well as building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you could help reduce forklift injuries.
You should 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, correct air pressure and general condition. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the machine as well. Confirm the condition of the heel and top-clip retaining pin. Check that the backrest is firmly attached. Confirm that the overhead and finger guards are attached. Visually check the cables and stops, the mast chains and the hydraulic hoses as well.
You should check the propane tank if you are using liquid propane of LP forklifts. Look for any indications of rust, corrosion or damage. Be certain that the battery has enough levels of electrolyte and which is sufficiently charged. Visually check all belts. Check to verify 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 functioning as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it is working correctly and latches securely.
After completing the steps above, turn on the engine. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds immediately. Make sure that both the service brake and the parking brake are correctly working. Confirm that the accelerator and the steering controls are operating at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is utilized most frequently to keep the flow of operations working as efficiently and smoothly as possible. Though forklifts are a large investment, the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting and the amount of man hours they can save can make the purchase pay for itself in little time.
There are many different models and manufacturers of forklifts available on the market. Various models are made to accomplish different tasks. In order to make sure that you don't buy more than you require or the wrong type of machinery, it is really important to assess the needs of your business and compare to the various units on the market. Talking to a certified forklift distributor is a very good idea and so is doing your own research on the World Wide Web.
When looking at forklifts by fuel type, the following kinds are available:
Electric: The electric forklift is run by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These large and heavy batteries can run a machinery for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric models are best suited for indoor use due to their lack of emissions. They are a popular choice for warehouses and retail spaces as they provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation and put zero emissions into the air where individuals are working.
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. In comparison to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion models are easier to refuel, accelerate faster and could carry heavier loads. These models are typically more expensive to use than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: The newest in forklift technology is the Hydrogen fuel cell. These models provide the fast refueling capability of an IC model but offer the zero emissions and quietness of electric forklifts.
