Inspect a Forklift
There are over 10,000 workplace injuries related to forklifts occur each year, according to OSHA and HRSDC reports. A lot of these accidents are caused by driver error. Lack of proper equipment maintenance and check causes many others. Operation and maintenance of a forklift is not just the cause of personal injuries, but also of damage to property. Forklifts could damage building structures, overhead pipes and sprinklers, and other equipment when wrongly used. The following day by day check ups must be performed so as to lessen the chance of forklift mishaps.

Turn the engine off before checking different fluid levels: engine oil, fuel, brake fluid, hydraulic oil and coolant. The tires must be checked for signs of wear and tear. Check the air pressure in the tires. Check the forks' condition. The load backrest need to be securely attached. Do a visual check of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. After that perform an inspection of the hydraulic hoses, mast chains, cables and stops. Make sure that both the overhead and finger guards are firmly attached.

The LP fueled forklift has propane tanks that need to be checked for corrosion, damage or rust. The battery's electrolyte levels and charge need to be tested every so often. Seat belts need to be checked for wear and tear. Check to make certain the owner's instruction manual is kept on-board the forklift inside a storage compartment. Check the seat belt to make certain the latches are secure. Test the hood latch to ensure it is working as it should.

To make sure there are no unusual engine sounds, start the engine up and listen for any irregularities. If there are, investigate at once. Test the accelerator and the steering controls. The parking break and the service break should be correctly working.

To ensure proper functioning in both reverse and forward, the tilt control and drive control must be checked. The functioning of the lowering control, the hoist and attachment control requires periodic checking. Check the lights and horn. After that check the wipers, heater and defroster to make certain they are functioning smoothly. Inspect each and every gauge to find out that it is reading within functional limits.
