Forklifts could lift loads that weigh between one to five tons. Some types could be used to raise shipping containers and much heavier loads.
Forklift tires must be checked and maintained on a regular basis. The types of tires on various forklifts vary according to factors like for instance frequency of use, weight of the loads and ground surfaces. Each and every driver of a forklift should have access to tire press, replacement tires and a forklift jack.
You should regularly check the tires. Watch for indications of damage and wear to the tires. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40%, it needs to be replaced.
When you purchase tires, be sure you buy the right kind - pneumatic, polyurethane or solid.
When the tire needs replacing, position the forklift jack under the tire and raise the forklift high enough that you could change the tires easily.
In order to remove the damaged tire, pull the tire from the rim utilizing the tire press. Install the new tire and secure it well. If you are changing more than one tire and you only have one jack, lower the forklift, then reposition the jack at the next tire.
These trucks are made for rough terrain, but care must still be taken in order to prevent tip overs. The forklift is top heavy and when lifting, should just be operated on level ground.
Even if there are no Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations governing forklift speed limitations, forklift drivers should drive at a safe speed at all times. Driving on rough or uneven terrain requires even more caution. Steering, in particular, could be unsafe at faster speeds.
Keep the load on the uphill side of the machine when operating on a slope. The rule of thumb is drive up, and back down. Never try to raise a load when operating on a sloped surface. The change in the center of gravity could cause the equipment to tip over.
Operators of forklifts should always put on seat belts like any driver. Check that the overhead guard is securely in place. Depending on the working environment, eye and hearing protection might need to be worn. Check that a functioning fire extinguisher is mounted on the forklift.
Climate can impact forklift operating conditions. Load handling, speed and turning might need to be adjusted to guarantee safety when operating a forklift in rain, snow or ice.
