Inspect a Forklift
Based on OSHA and HRSDC statistics, there are approximately 10,000 forklift-related worklplace injuries each year within North America. Some injuries are caused by the lack of proper equipment inspection and maintenance of the machinery. Other injuries are caused by operator error.
Injuries are not the only issues that are related to the maintenance and operation of forklifts. Another serious issue is property damage. Forklift accidents can cause damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other equipment and building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you can help lessen forklift injuries.
You should first turn the engine off prior to checking the forklift. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, brake fluid, hydraulic oil and coolant. Visually check the tires of the machinery looking for signs of wear, general condition and appropriate air pressure. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the machinery as well. Verify the condition of the heel and top-clip retaining pin. Check that the backrest is attached securely. Confirm 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 inspect the propane tank if you are utilizing liquid propane of LP forklifts. Look for any indications of damage, rust or corrosion. Be certain that the battery has enough levels of electrolyte and that is sufficiently charged. Visually inspect all belts. Check to verify the location of the owner's instruction manual and make sure it is located in the designated on-board storage compartment. Confirm the hood latch and confirm that it is operating as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it is functioning properly and latches securely.
You can turn on the engine after you have done all the steps mentioned above. Listen carefully to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds right away. Make certain that both the parking brake and the service brake are correctly working. Make certain that the accelerator and the steering controls are functioning at optimum performance levels.

When looking at forklifts by the kind of fuel, the following kinds are available:
Electric: The electric forklift is powered by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These large and heavy batteries can run a machine for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric units are ideal for indoor use because of their lack of emissions. They are a popular alternative for warehouses and retail spaces because they provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation and put zero emissions into the air where people are working.
Internal Combustion: The internal combustion 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 internal combustion or IC models could carry heavier loads, are easier to refuel and accelerate faster. These units are usually more pricey to use than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the latest in forklift technology. These units provide the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts but provide the fast refueling capability of an IC unit.
