Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift usage within North America average roughly more than 10,000 each year, according to the statistics from the HRSDC and OSHA. Some injuries are caused by 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 maintenance and operation of forklifts. One more serious problem is damage to property. Forklift mishaps can lead to damage to overhead pipes, sprinklers, and other equipment as well as building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you can help lessen forklift injuries.
When beginning an inspection, turn the engine off. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, hydraulic oil, coolant and brake fluid. Visually inspect the machine's tires looking for signs of wear, general condition and correct air pressure. Visually check the forks on the front of the machine too. Verify the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Make certain that the backrest is attached securely. Make certain that both the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually inspect the cables and stops, the mast chains and the hydraulic hoses too.
You should check the propane tank if you are utilizing liquid propane of LP forklifts. Check for any signs of corrosion, damage or rust. Be certain that the battery has adequate electrolyte levels and which is charged adequately. Visually check all belts. Check to confirm the location of the owner's handbook and make sure 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. Inspect the seatbelt and make certain it securely latches and is functioning properly.
You can turn the engine on after you have done all the steps mentioned above. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any unusual sounds immediately. Check that both the service brake and the parking brake are functioning properly. Make certain that the accelerator and the steering controls are functioning at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is used most often to keep the flow of operations running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Though forklifts are a big investment, the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting and the amount of man hours they could save can make the purchase pay for itself in little time.
There are numerous different models and manufacturers of forklifts available on the market. Different models are made to accomplish various jobs. In order to make sure that you don't buy the wrong type of machine or buy more than you need, it is really important to evaluate the needs of your business and compare to the different models available on the market. Talking to a licensed forklift distributor is a great idea and so is doing your own research online.
When looking at forklifts by the kind of fuel, the following types are available:
Electric: Electric forklifts use large, heavy, rechargeable batteries which are lead-acid based. These batteries are able to run for roughly 5 or 6 hours straight. Electric models are great for indoor applications because of their lack of emissions. They are a popular option for warehouses and retail spaces since they put zero emissions into the air where people are working and provide a relatively low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: IC forklifts work with a range of fuels. Several models take CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, liquid propane or LP or gasoline. In comparison to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion units are easier to refuel, accelerate faster and could carry heavier loads. These models are normally more pricey to operate compared to their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the newest in forklift technology. These units provide the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts but provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion model.
