Forklifts are capable of carrying loads between one and five tons in weight. Several models can be used to lift shipping containers and much heavier loads.
Forklift tires must be checked and maintained regularly. The kinds of tires on various forklifts vary according to factors such as ground surfaces, frequency of use and weight of the loads. Every forklift driver must have access to a forklift jack, tire press and replacement tires.
You must frequently inspect the tires. Watch for signs of wear and damage to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40%, it should be replaced.
When purchasing tires, make sure that you are purchasing the correct kind - pneumatic, polyurethane or solid.
When you need to replace the tires, the forklift jack must be positioned under the tire. You can easily change the tires if you raise the forklift high enough.
You can use the tire press to pull the tire from the rim and remove the damaged tire. Install the new tire and properly secure it. If you are changing more than one tire and you have just one jack, lower the forklift, and after that reposition the jack at the next tire.
Even if these trucks are made for rough terrain, you still must be very careful so as to avoid tip overs. The forklift is top heavy and should just be operated on level ground when lifting.
Even though there are no Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules governing forklift speed limits, forklift drivers should drive at a safe speed every time. Driving on terrain that is uneven or rough requires even more caution. Steering, in particular, could be unsafe at faster speeds.
If you are operating on an incline, you should keep the load on the machine's uphill side. The rule of thumb is drive up, and back down. Never try to lift a load while operating on an inclined surface. The change in the center of gravity can cause the machinery to tip over.
Like any driver, forklift operators are obliged to wear seat belts. Check that the overhead guard is securely in position. Depending on the working environment, hearing and eye protection might need to be worn. Check that a functioning fire extinguisher is mounted on the forklift.
The operating conditions of a forklift can be affected by climate. Load handling, speed and turning might need to be adjusted to guarantee safety when operating a forklift in rain, snow or ice.
