Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift usage in North America average approximately more than ten thousand every year, based on the statistics from OSHA and the HRSDC. Some injuries are caused by the lack of proper equipment inspection and maintenance of the machinery. 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 mishaps could cause damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other equipment as well as building walls. By completing thorough inspections each and every day, you could help lessen forklift injuries.
You must first turn off the engine prior to checking the forklift. Check the levels of the fuel, engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and hydraulic oil. Visually check the tires of the equipment looking for signs of wear, general condition and correct air pressure. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the machinery too. Confirm the condition of the heel and top-clip retaining pin. Make sure that the backrest is attached firmly. Make certain that the overhead and finger guards are attached. Visually check the cables and stops, the mast chains and the hydraulic hoses too.
On liquid propane or LP forklifts, check the propane tank. Check for any signs of corrosion, damage or rust. Be certain that the battery has enough levels of electrolyte and which is adequately charged. Visually inspect 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. Verify the hood latch and make certain that it is operating as it is supposed to. Inspect the seatbelt and make sure it latches securely and is working properly.
You could turn on the engine after you have completed all the steps mentioned above. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds right away. Check that both the service brake and the parking brake are working properly. Make certain that the steering controls and the accelerator are operating at optimum performance levels.
Fork trucks are usually utilized to keep these operations working efficiently and smoothly. Even if forklifts are a big investment, the amount of man hours they can save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting can make the purchase pay for itself eventually.
There are numerous different models and manufacturers of forklifts available on the market. Various models are designed to accomplish various jobs. So as to make certain that you don't purchase more than you need or the wrong kind of machine, it is essential to assess the requirements of your company and compare to the different models on the market. Talking to a certified forklift distributor is a good idea and so is doing your own research on the World Wide Web.
When looking at forklifts by the type of fuel, the following kinds are available:
Electric: Electric forklifts utilize heavy, large, rechargeable batteries which are lead-acid based. These batteries are able to run for roughly 5 or 6 hours straight. Electric units are ideal for indoor use due to their lack of emissions. They are a common choice for retail spaces and warehouses as they put zero emissions into the air where individuals are working and provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: The internal combustion engine works on a range of different fuels like compressed natural gas or CNG, others take diesel, LP or liquid propane or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion units could carry heavier loads, accelerate faster and are easier to refuel. These models are typically more pricey to use than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the latest in forklift technology. These units provide the zero emissions and quietness of electric forklifts but provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion unit.
