Hyundai IC Forklifts
Inspect a Forklift
According to OSHA and HRSDC statistics, there are roughly 10,000 forklift-related worklplace injuries every year within North America. Several injuries are caused by the lack of maintenance of the machine and correct equipment inspection. Other injuries are because of operator error.
Injuries are not the only issues that are related to the operation and maintenance of forklifts. Another serious problem is damage to property. Forklift mishaps can lead to damage to overhead pipes, sprinklers, and other equipment as well as building walls. By completing thorough inspections every day, you could help lessen 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 machine's tires looking for signs of wear, appropriate air pressure and general condition. Visually check the forks on the front of the machine too. 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 check the cables and stops, the mast chains and the hydraulic hoses too.
On LP or liquid propane forklifts, inspect the propane tank. Check for any signs of damage, rust or corrosion. Be sure that the battery has adequate levels of electrolyte and that is charged adequately. Visually check all belts. Check to verify the location of the owner's instruction manual and make certain it is located in the designated on-board storage compartment. Confirm the hood latch and make sure that it is functioning as it is supposed to. Inspect the seatbelt and make certain it latches securely and is functioning correctly.
You can turn on the engine after you have completed all the steps mentioned above. Listen carefully to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds right away. Make certain that both the parking brake and the service brake are working correctly. Make sure that the steering controls and the accelerator are functioning at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is used most frequently to keep the flow of operations working as efficiently and smoothly as possible. Even if 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 in little time.
There are numerous different units and manufacturers of forklifts available on the market. Different units are designed to accomplish various tasks. In order to make sure that you don't buy more than you need or the wrong type of machine, it is vital to evaluate the requirements of your company and compare to the different units available on the market. Speaking with a qualified forklift distributor is a very good idea and so is doing your own research online.
When looking at forklifts by fuel type, the following kinds are available:
Electric: Electric forklifts utilize large, heavy, rechargeable batteries that are lead-acid based. These batteries can run for approximately 5 or 6 hours straight. Electric models are ideal for indoor use due to their lack of emissions. They are a common alternative for retail spaces and warehouses because 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 works on a range of different fuels such as CNG or compressed natural gas, 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 can carry heavier loads. These units are normally more expensive to utilize compared to their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the newest in forklift technology. These models provide the zero emissions and quietness of electric forklifts but provide the fast refueling capability of an IC model.
