Hyundai IC Forklifts
Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift usage within North America average approximately over 10,000 every year, based on the statistics from OSHA and the HRSDC. Several injuries result from the lack of maintenance of the machinery and correct equipment inspection. Other injuries are due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only problem related to forklift operation and maintenance. One more serious concern is damage to property. Forklift mishaps can result in damage to overhead pipes, sprinklers, and other machinery and building walls. By completing thorough inspections each day, you can help reduce forklift injuries.
When starting an inspection, turn off the engine. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, hydraulic oil, coolant and brake fluid. Visually check the tires of the machinery looking for signs of wear, correct air pressure and general condition. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the machine as well. Confirm the condition of the heel and top-clip retaining pin. Check that the backrest is attached securely. Confirm that the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually check the cables and stops, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains too.
On liquid propane or LP forklifts, check the propane tank. Check for any signs of corrosion, damage or rust. Be sure that the battery has enough electrolyte levels and which is charged sufficiently. Visually check all belts. Check to verify the location of the owner's handbook and make sure it is situated in the designated on-board storage compartment. Confirm the hood latch and confirm that it is operating as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it securely latches and is functioning properly.
You can turn on the engine after you have completed all the steps mentioned above. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds immediately. Make certain that both the parking brake and the service brake are working properly. Make sure that the steering controls and the accelerator are working at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is used most frequently to keep the flow of operations running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Even if forklifts are a big investment, the amount of man hours they could save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting could make the purchase pay for itself in little time.
Available on the market these days are a lot of different models from many different manufacturers. These various units are designed specifically to deal with some specific tasks. So as to make sure that you don't purchase more than you need or the wrong type of machinery, it is important to assess the requirements of your business and compare to the different models available on the market. Talking to a licensed forklift distributor is a very 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: The electric forklift is run by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These heavy and large 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 choice for warehouses and retail spaces since they put zero emissions into the air where people are working and provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: The internal combustion engine operates on a variety of different fuels such as 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 can carry heavier loads, are easier to refuel and accelerate faster. These units are typically more pricey to operate compared to their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the latest in forklift technology. These units offer the zero emissions and quietness of electric forklifts but provide the fast refueling capability of an IC unit.
