Inspect a Forklift
According to OSHA and HRSDC statistics, there are approximately 10,000 forklift-related worklplace injuries every year within North America. Several injuries result from the lack of maintenance of the machine and proper equipment inspection. Other injuries are caused by operator error.
Injuries are not the only problems that are related to the operation and maintenance of forklifts. One more serious problem is property damage. Forklift accidents can result in damage to overhead pipes, sprinklers, and other machinery as well as building walls. By completing thorough inspections each day, you could help reduce forklift injuries.
When starting an inspection, turn the engine off. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, hydraulic oil, coolant and brake fluid. Visually inspect the tires of the equipment looking for signs of wear, general condition and appropriate air pressure. Visually check the forks on the front of the equipment too. Verify the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Check that the backrest is attached securely. Make certain that the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually inspect the cables and stops, the mast chains and the hydraulic hoses as well.
On liquid propane or LP forklifts, inspect the propane tank. Look for any signs of rust, corrosion or damage. Be sure that the battery has enough levels of electrolyte and that is charged sufficiently. Visually inspect all belts. Check to confirm the location of the owner's handbook and make sure it is located in the designated on-board storage compartment. Confirm the hood latch and make certain that it is functioning as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it is working correctly and securely latches.
You could turn on the engine after you have done all the steps mentioned above. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any unusual sounds right away. Make sure that both the parking brake and the service brake are working properly. Make certain that the steering controls and the accelerator 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. Even if forklifts are a big investment, the amount of man hours they can save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting can make the purchase pay for itself eventually.
There are numerous different units and manufacturers of forklifts available on the market. Various units are made to accomplish different tasks. In order to make certain that you don't purchase the wrong kind of machine or buy more than you require, it is really important to evaluate the needs of your business and compare to the different models on the market. Speaking with a qualified forklift distributor is a very great idea and so is doing your own research on the internet.
When looking at forklifts by the type of fuel, the following kinds are available:
Electric: Electric forklifts use large, heavy, rechargeable batteries which are lead-acid based. These batteries could run for around 5 or 6 hours straight. Electric models are best suited for indoor applications because of their lack of emissions. They are a common choice for warehouses and retail spaces because they provide a relatively low cost per hour of operation and put zero emissions into the air where people are working.
Internal Combustion: The internal combustion engine operates on a variety of different fuels such as compressed natural gas or CNG, others take diesel, liquid propane or LP or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the internal combustion or IC models could carry heavier loads, are easier to refuel and accelerate faster. These units are typically more pricey to use than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the newest in forklift technology. These units provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion unit but provide the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts.
