Hyundai IC Forklifts
Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift operation in North America average roughly more than ten thousand every year, based on 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 due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only concern related to forklift operation and maintenance. One more serious problem is property damage. Forklift mishaps can cause damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other equipment and building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you could help lessen forklift injuries.
When beginning an inspection, turn the engine off. Check the levels of the fuel, engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and hydraulic oil. 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 equipment too. Confirm the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Check that the backrest is firmly attached. Confirm that both the overhead and finger guards are attached. Visually inspect the cables and stops, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains as well.
You should inspect the propane tank if you are using liquid propane of LP forklifts. Look for any indications of damage, rust or corrosion. Be certain that the battery has adequate levels of electrolyte and that is charged sufficiently. Visually check 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. Verify the hood latch and confirm that it is operating as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it is functioning correctly and securely latches.
After doing the steps above, turn on the engine. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any unusual sounds right away. Check that both the parking brake and the service brake are properly working. Confirm that the steering controls and the accelerator are functioning at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is used most frequently to keep the flow of operations running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Though forklifts are a huge investment, the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting and the amount of man hours they can save can make the purchase pay for itself in little time.
There are numerous different units and manufacturers of forklifts on the market. Various units are designed to accomplish different tasks. So as to make sure that you don't purchase the wrong kind of machinery or buy more than you require, it is vital to assess the needs of your company and compare to the various units on the market. Talking to a qualified forklift distributor is a very good idea and so is doing your own research online.
When looking at forklifts by fuel type, the following types are available:
Electric: The electric forklift is powered by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These large and heavy batteries can run a machinery for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric models are ideal for indoor use due to their lack of emissions. They are a common alternative 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: IC forklifts operate with a variety of fuels. Some models take CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, liquid propane or LP or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the internal combustion or IC units could carry heavier loads, accelerate faster and are easier to refuel. These units are usually more pricey to use compared to 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 model.
