Hyundai IC Forklifts
Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift operation within North America average about more than ten thousand every year, based on the statistics from the HRSDC and OSHA. Some injuries result from the lack of correct equipment inspection and maintenance of the machinery. Other injuries are because of operator error.
Injuries are not the only problem related to forklift operation and maintenance. Another serious problem is damage to property. Forklift mishaps can lead to damage to overhead pipes, sprinklers, and other machines 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 check the machine's tires looking for indications of wear, correct air pressure and general condition. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the equipment as well. Verify the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Check that the backrest is firmly attached. Make sure that both the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually inspect the cables and stops, the mast chains and the hydraulic hoses as well.
You must check the propane tank if you are using liquid propane of LP forklifts. Look for any indications of corrosion, damage or rust. Be certain that the battery has adequate electrolyte levels and which is sufficiently charged. Visually inspect all belts. Check to confirm the location of the owner's manual and make certain it is situated in the designated on-board storage compartment. Verify the hood latch and make sure that it is operating as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it securely latches and is functioning properly.
After completing the above steps, turn the engine on. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any unusual sounds right away. Make certain that both the service brake and the parking brake are working properly. Confirm that the accelerator and the steering controls are functioning at optimum performance levels.
Fork trucks are usually used to keep these operations running smoothly and efficiently. Even if forklifts are a huge investment, the amount of man hours they could save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting could make the purchase pay for itself eventually.
There are many different models and manufacturers of forklifts on the market. Various models are made to accomplish different tasks. In order to make sure that you don't purchase more than you require or the wrong type of machine, it is essential to assess your company's requirements and compare to the various units offered on the market. Speaking with a qualified forklift distributor is a good idea and so is doing your own research on the internet.
When looking at forklifts by the type of fuel, the following types are available:
Electric: The electric forklift is powered by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These heavy and large batteries could run a machinery for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric units are ideal for indoor applications because of their lack of emissions. They are a common alternative for warehouses and retail spaces as they provide a relatively low cost per hour of operation and put zero emissions into the air where people are working.
Internal Combustion: The IC engine works on a variety of different fuels like CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, LP or liquid propane or gasoline. In comparison to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion models are easier to refuel, accelerate faster and can carry heavier loads. These models are typically more pricey to operate than 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.
