Hyundai IC Forklifts
Inspect a Forklift
Based on OSHA and HRSDC statistics, there are approximately 10,000 forklift-related worklplace injuries each year in North America. Several injuries are caused by the lack of proper equipment inspection and maintenance of the machine. Other injuries are due to operator error.
Injuries are not the only problems that are related to the operation and maintenance of forklifts. One more serious problem is damage to property. Forklift accidents could lead to damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other equipment and building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you could help lessen forklift injuries.
When starting an inspection, turn the engine off. Check the levels of the engine oil, fuel, brake fluid, hydraulic oil and coolant. Visually inspect the tires of the machine looking for signs of wear, general condition and appropriate air pressure. Visually inspect the forks on the front of the equipment as well. Verify the condition of the top-clip retaining pin and heel. Check that the backrest is securely attached. Make sure that the overhead and finger guards are attached. Visually inspect the stops and cables, the hydraulic hoses and the mast chains as well.
On LP or liquid propane forklifts, check the propane tank. Look for any signs of damage, rust or corrosion. Be certain that the battery has adequate levels of electrolyte and that is charged sufficiently. Visually check all belts. Check to verify the location of the owner's instruction manual and make sure it is located in the designated on-board storage compartment. Verify the hood latch and confirm that it is operating as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make certain it securely latches and is functioning properly.
You could turn the engine on after you have done all the steps mentioned above. Carefully listen to the engine. Investigate any strange sounds immediately. Make certain that both the service brake and the parking brake are correctly functioning. Make certain that the accelerator and the steering controls are operating at optimum performance levels.
Fork trucks are usually utilized to keep these operations working smoothly and efficiently. Though forklifts are a huge investment, the amount of man hours they could save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting could make the purchase pay for itself eventually.
On the market these days are a lot of different models from a lot of different manufacturers. These different models are designed particularly to deal with certain specific tasks. In order to make certain that you don't purchase more than you need or the wrong type of machine, it is essential to assess the requirements of your business and compare to the different units on the market. Talking to a authorized forklift distributor is a good idea and so is doing your own research online.
When looking at forklifts by fuel type, the following types are available:
Electric: The electric forklift is powered by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These large and heavy batteries can run a machinery for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric models are best suited for indoor applications because of their lack of emissions. They are a common alternative for warehouses and retail spaces since they provide a relatively low cost per hour of operation and put zero emissions into the air where individuals are working.
Internal Combustion: The IC engine operates on a variety of different fuels like 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 models are typically more expensive to use than their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the newest in forklift technology. These units provide the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts but provide the fast refueling capability of an internal combustion model.
