Inspect a Forklift
Based on HRSDC and OSHA statistics, there are around 10,000 forklift-related worklplace injuries each year within North America. Some injuries result from the lack of proper equipment inspection and maintenance of the machinery. Other injuries are because of operator error.
Injuries are not the only problems that are related to the operation and maintenance of forklifts. One more serious concern is property damage. Forklift accidents can cause damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other equipment and building walls. By completing thorough inspections every day, you could help reduce forklift injuries.
When beginning an inspection, turn off the engine. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid and hydraulic oil. Visually check the machine's tires looking for indications of wear, correct air pressure and general condition. Visually check the forks on the front of the machinery as well. Confirm the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Check that the backrest is firmly attached. Make certain that the overhead and finger guards are attached. Visually check the cables and stops, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains as well.
You should check the propane tank if you are utilizing LP or liquid propane forklifts. Look for any signs of damage, rust or corrosion. Be sure that the battery has enough electrolyte levels and that is charged adequately. Visually inspect all belts. Check to verify the location of the owner's manual and make sure it is situated in the designated on-board storage compartment. Confirm the hood latch and make certain that it is functioning as it is supposed to. Inspect the seatbelt and make certain it latches securely and is functioning properly.
After completing the steps above, turn on the engine. Listen carefully to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds right away. Check that both the parking brake and the service brake are working properly. Make certain that the steering controls and the accelerator are operating at optimum performance levels.

When looking at forklifts by the type of fuel, the following kinds are available:
Electric: The electric forklift is run by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These heavy and large batteries could run a machinery for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric models are great for indoor applications because of their lack of emissions. They are a common choice for warehouses and retail spaces as they put zero emissions into the air where individuals are working and provide a relatively low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: The IC engine operates on a range of different fuels like compressed natural gas or CNG, 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 can carry heavier loads. These units are normally more pricey to use than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: The latest in forklift technology is the Hydrogen fuel cell. These models offer the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts but provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion model.
