Inspect a Forklift
HRSDC and OSHA report that more than 10,000 workplace injuries related to fork lifts take place each year. Operator error is the cause of many of these accidents. Lack of appropriate equipment maintenance and inspection causes many others. Operation and maintenance of a forklift is not just the reason for personal injuries, but also of damage to property. Forklifts can damage building structures, overhead pipes and sprinklers, and other machinery when used wrongly. The following day by day check ups must be carried out so as to lessen the chance of forklift mishaps.
Prior to inspecting various fluid levels turn off the engine. Check these fluids: hydraulic oil, fuel, engine oil, brake fluid and coolant. The tires also have to be inspected for signs of wear and tear. Check the air pressure in the tires. Check the condition of the forks. The load backrest should be securely attached. Do a visual inspection of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Afterward carry out an inspection of the mast chains, hydraulic hoses, stops and cables. Make sure that both the overhead and finger guards are attached securely.
LP forklifts have propane tanks that need to be checked for indications of corrosion, damage or rust. Test the battery's electrolyte levels and charge. All belts must be checked for wear. Check to make certain the owner's handbook is kept on-board the forklift in a storage compartment. Test the seat belt to make sure the latches are secure. Check the hood latch to make certain that it is working as it should.
Start the forklift and listen to the noise of the engine to make certain there are no unusual sounds. If there are, investigate promptly. Test the accelerator and the steering controls. The service brake and the parking break must be correctly working.
To ensure proper functioning in both reverse and forward, the drive control and tilt control should be checked. The functioning of the lowering control, the hoist and attachment control needs periodic checking. Test the horn and lights. Then check the heater, defroster and wipers to make certain they are functioning smoothly. Inspect each and every gauge to find out that it is reading within functional limits.
How to Replace Forklift Tires
Forklift maintenance includes regularly checking the tires. This also includes replacing worn or damaged tires. Various kinds of forklifts are intended to be utilized with particular kinds of tires: pneumatic, polyurethane or solid. Tire types vary depending on factors such as ground surfaces, frequency and duration of use and the weight of the load. In order to change a forklift tire you would need the following tools: spare tires, forklift jack and tire press. Replacing your forklift tires periodically is vital to help prolong the life of the machine.
Instructions
1 Thoroughly inspect the tires for indications of wear and damage. Make sure that the kind of tire on the forklift is the correct type. If the wear on the tire is over 40 percent, the tire must be replaced.
2 You should buy spare or replacement tires.
3 Position the jack under the tire and lift the forklift to a height which allows you to remove the tire easily.
4 Take out the old tire by using the tire press to separate the rim from the tire. Replace the tire with the new one and firmly secure. Lower the forklift, and after that move the jack to the next tire and do the same thing with the other damaged tire.
5 A damaged tire can be repaired on site by a local repair company. If this is your first call, the repair company could provide an estimate fro free. If the tires are really big, you would require a stationary tire press. In that case, you must remove the tire and bring it to a repair shop.
