Warehouse Forklift Maintenance
Forklifts require a proper maintenance program to help increase the machine's lifespan and is an essential factor in allowing the equipment to function safely and effectively. Completing regular forklift check ups and doing preventive maintenance regularly will help to ensure the safe and efficient use of the machine.

Daily Checklist
The daily checklist is an important tool in any forklift maintenance program. These checklists would help to document any and all potential issues. They are required by the OSHA or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The daily checklists can also be audited by OSHA during any routine inspection. Operators are required to complete the inspection from the start of their shift. If any major problems are found, the forklift is not to be put into service until the problem has been fixed.

Safety and Maintenance Go Hand-in-Hand
Each and every year roughly 100 individuals are injured in forklift accidents within the USA. Statistics show that approximately 20,000 people would be seriously injured as a result of a forklift mishap. This number translates to represent 54 people a day, 7 days a week, for the whole year. A lot of these accidents could be easily prevented if the forklift had been properly serviced and maintained. In several circumstances, it might seem like a cost savings to skip or delay routine maintenance, although, these savings would pale in comparison to the cost of a single mishap.

Things to be Serviced
In the owner's instruction manual of each and every equipment, the manufacturer will include a maintenance schedule. These schedules will differ greatly, depending on the manufacturer and the kind of machinery. Every schedule will contain a variety of basic things. For instance, in a combustion engine, the oil filters and the engine oil should be replaced sometimes. Hydraulic levels must be checked too. Be sure to check hoses for any signs of cracking. Other items involve the electrical systems, the brakes and the transmission of the forklift.
