Hyundai IC Forklifts
Inspect a Forklift
Based on HRSDC and OSHA statistics, there are roughly ten thousand forklift-related worklplace injuries every year within North America. Some injuries are caused by the lack of correct equipment inspection and maintenance of the machinery. Other injuries are due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only problem related to forklift operation and maintenance. Another serious issue is property damage. Forklift accidents can lead to damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other machines as well as building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you could help reduce forklift injuries.
You should first turn the engine off before checking the forklift. Check the levels of the fuel, engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and hydraulic oil. Visually inspect the tires of the equipment looking for indications of wear, appropriate air pressure and general condition. Visually check 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. Make certain that the finger guard and overhead are attached. Visually inspect the cables and stops, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains as well.
On liquid propane or LP forklifts, check the propane tank. Check for any signs of damage, rust or corrosion. Be certain that the battery has enough electrolyte levels and which is charged adequately. 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 make certain that it is functioning as it is supposed to. Inspect the seatbelt and make certain it is functioning properly and securely latches.
After completing the above steps, turn the engine on. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds right away. Make sure that both the service brake and the parking brake are correctly functioning. Confirm that the accelerator and the steering controls are working at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is used 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 could save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting can make the purchase pay for itself in little time.
There are many different units and manufacturers of forklifts available on the market. Various models are designed to accomplish different jobs. In order to make certain that you don't buy the wrong type of machine or buy more than you need, it is really essential to assess the requirements of your business and compare to the various units available on the market. Talking to a qualified forklift distributor is a great idea and so is doing your own research on the internet.
When looking at forklifts by fuel type, the following kinds are available:
Electric: The electric forklift is run by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These large and heavy batteries can run a machinery for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric units are great for indoor applications because of their lack of emissions. They are a common option for retail spaces and warehouses as they put zero emissions into the air where people are working and provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation.
Internal Combustion: Internal combustion forklifts work with a variety of fuels. Several units take CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, LP or liquid propane or gasoline. In comparison to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion models could carry heavier loads, are easier to refuel and accelerate faster. These units are normally more expensive to use compared to their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: The newest in forklift technology is the Hydrogen fuel cell. These models provide the fast refueling capability of an IC model but provide the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts.
