Hyundai IC Forklifts
Inspect a Forklift
Workplace injuries related to forklift usage in North America average about over 10,000 each year, according to 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 due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only issue related to forklift operation and maintenance. Another serious issue is damage to property. Forklift accidents can lead to damage to overhead pipes, sprinklers, and other machines and building walls. By completing thorough inspections each and every day, you can help reduce forklift injuries.
You should first turn the engine off prior to inspecting the forklift. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, hydraulic oil, coolant and brake fluid. Visually check the tires of the machine looking for signs of wear, appropriate air pressure and general condition. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the equipment as well. Verify the condition of the heel and top-clip retaining pin. Check that the backrest is securely attached. Make sure that both the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually inspect the cables and stops, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains as well.
You must check the propane tank if you are utilizing liquid propane of LP forklifts. Look for any signs of corrosion, damage or rust. Be sure that the battery has adequate electrolyte levels and that is adequately charged. Visually inspect all belts. Check to confirm the location of the owner's instruction manual and make sure it is situated in the designated on-board storage compartment. Verify the hood latch and make sure that it is functioning as it is supposed to. Inspect the seatbelt and make certain it is functioning correctly and securely latches.
You could turn on the engine after you have completed all the steps mentioned above. Listen carefully to the engine. Investigate any unusual sounds right away. Check that both the parking brake and the service brake are properly working. Make certain that the accelerator and the steering controls are functioning at optimum performance levels.
Fork trucks are normally utilized to keep these operations running smoothly and efficiently. Even though forklifts are a big investment, the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting and the amount of man hours they can save could make the purchase pay for itself eventually.
There are many different units and manufacturers of forklifts available on the market. Various units are made to accomplish different jobs. In order to make sure that you don't buy more than you need or the wrong type of equipment, it is important to assess your company's requirements and compare to the different units on the market. Talking to a licensed forklift distributor is a very great idea and so is doing your own research on the World Wide Web.
When looking at forklifts by fuel type, the following types are available:
Electric: The electric forklift is run 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 retail spaces and warehouses because they provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation and put zero emissions into the air where individuals are working.
Internal Combustion: The internal combustion engine works on a range of different fuels like CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, liquid propane or LP or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion units accelerate faster, are easier to refuel and could carry heavier loads. These models are normally more expensive to operate compared to 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 unit.
