Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift usage in North America average around over 10,000 every year, based on the statistics from the HRSDC and OSHA. Several injuries result from the lack of maintenance of the machinery and proper equipment inspection. Other injuries are because of operator error.
Injuries are not the only issues that are related to the operation and maintenance of forklifts. One more serious problem is property damage. Forklift accidents can result in damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other machines as well as building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you could help reduce forklift injuries.
You must first turn off the engine prior to inspecting the forklift. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid and hydraulic oil. Visually check the tires of the machine looking for signs of wear, appropriate air pressure and general condition. Visually check the forks on the front of the machinery too. Confirm the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Check that the backrest is attached firmly. Make certain that both the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually check the cables and stops, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains as well.
On LP or liquid propane forklifts, inspect the propane tank. Check for any signs of damage, rust or corrosion. Be certain that the battery has adequate electrolyte levels and that is adequately charged. Visually inspect all belts. Check to confirm the location of the owner's instruction manual and make certain it is situated in the designated on-board storage compartment. Confirm the hood latch and make certain that it is operating as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it is working properly and latches securely.
You can turn on the engine after you have completed all the steps mentioned above. Listen carefully to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds immediately. Check that both the parking brake and the service brake are functioning properly. Make certain that the steering controls and the accelerator are working at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is utilized most often to keep the flow of operations running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Even if forklifts are a big investment, the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting and the amount of man hours they can save could make the purchase pay for itself in little time.
There are numerous different units and manufacturers of forklifts on the market. Various models are made to accomplish different jobs. In order to make certain that you don't purchase more than you require or the wrong kind of machinery, it is really important to assess your company's requirements and compare to the various units available on the market. Speaking with a licensed forklift distributor is a great idea and so is doing your own research on the World Wide Web.
When looking at forklifts by fuel type, the following types are available:
Electric: Electric forklifts use heavy, large, rechargeable batteries that are lead-acid based. These batteries can run for about 5 or 6 hours straight. Electric units are great for indoor applications due to their lack of emissions. They are a common alternative for retail spaces and warehouses since they provide a relatively low cost per hour of operation and put zero emissions into the air where individuals are working.
Internal Combustion: The IC engine works on a variety of different fuels like CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, LP or liquid propane or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the internal combustion or IC models could carry heavier loads, accelerate faster and are easier to refuel. These models are typically more expensive to use than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: The latest in forklift technology is the Hydrogen fuel cell. These models offer the zero emissions and quietness of electric forklifts but provide the fast refueling capability of an IC unit.
