Hyundai IC Forklifts
Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift operation within North America average approximately more than 10,000 each year, according to the statistics from the HRSDC and OSHA. Several injuries result from the lack of correct equipment inspection and maintenance of the machinery. Other injuries are due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only problems that are related to the operation and maintenance of forklifts. Another serious issue is damage to property. Forklift accidents can result in damage to overhead pipes, sprinklers, and other equipment and building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you could help reduce forklift injuries.
You must first turn the engine off prior to inspecting the forklift. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, brake fluid, hydraulic oil and coolant. Visually inspect the tires of the machine looking for indications of wear, general condition and appropriate air pressure. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the machinery as well. Verify the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Check that the backrest is firmly attached. Confirm that the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually inspect the cables and stops, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains too.
You must inspect the propane tank if you are utilizing liquid propane of LP forklifts. Look for any indications of corrosion, damage or rust. Be certain that the battery has enough electrolyte levels and which is charged sufficiently. Visually check all belts. Check to confirm the location of the owner's manual and make sure it is situated in the designated on-board storage compartment. Verify the hood latch and make certain that it is operating as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it is functioning properly and securely latches.
You could turn the engine on after you have completed all the steps mentioned above. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any unusual sounds right away. Make sure that both the parking brake and the service brake are properly working. Make certain that the steering controls and the accelerator are operating at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is utilized most often to keep the flow of operations working as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Though forklifts are a huge investment, the amount of man hours they can save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting could make the purchase pay for itself in little time.
Available on the market today are numerous of different units from many different manufacturers. These various units are designed specifically to handle certain specific jobs. In order to make sure that you don't purchase more than you need or the wrong kind of machinery, it is important to assess your company's requirements and compare to the different units on the market. Talking to a certified forklift distributor is a very good idea and so is doing your own research on the internet.
When looking at forklifts by fuel type, the following types are available:
Electric: Electric forklifts use large, heavy, rechargeable batteries which are lead-acid based. These batteries can run for approximately 5 or 6 hours straight. Electric units are ideal for indoor applications due to their lack of emissions. They are a common option for warehouses and retail spaces as they put zero emissions into the air where individuals are working and provide a relatively low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: IC forklifts operate with a variety of fuels. Some models take compressed natural gas or CNG, others take diesel, liquid propane or LP or gasoline. In comparison to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion units accelerate faster, are easier to refuel and could carry heavier loads. These units are typically more expensive to use than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: The latest in forklift technology is the Hydrogen fuel cell. These models provide the fast refueling capability of an IC unit but provide the zero emissions and quietness of electric forklifts.
