Hyundai IC Forklifts
Inspect a Forklift
According to HRSDC and OSHA statistics, there are approximately ten thousand forklift-related worklplace injuries every year in North America. Several injuries are caused by the lack of maintenance of the machinery and correct equipment inspection. Other injuries are caused by operator error.
Injuries are not the only issue related to forklift maintenance and operation. Another serious problem is damage to property. Forklift mishaps can cause damage to sprinklers, overhead pipes, and other machinery and building walls. By completing thorough inspections on a daily basis, you can help lessen forklift injuries.
You must first turn the engine off before checking the forklift. Check the levels of the fuel, engine oil, hydraulic oil, coolant and brake fluid. Visually inspect the tires of the equipment looking for signs of wear, appropriate air pressure and general condition. Visually check the forks on the front of the equipment too. Verify the condition of the heel and top-clip retaining pin. Make sure that the backrest is attached firmly. Make sure 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 using liquid propane of LP forklifts. Check for any indications of corrosion, damage or rust. Be certain that the battery has adequate levels of electrolyte and which is adequately charged. Visually inspect 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. Confirm the hood latch and make certain that it is functioning as it is supposed to. Check the seatbelt and make sure it is working 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 strange sounds immediately. Make certain that both the parking brake and the service brake are properly functioning. Confirm that the accelerator and the steering controls are working at optimum performance levels.
The forklift is used most frequently to keep the flow of operations running as efficiently and smoothly as possible. Even if forklifts are a large investment, the amount of man hours they could save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting can make the purchase pay for itself eventually.
Available on the market these days are numerous of different models from many different manufacturers. These different models are made specifically to handle some particular jobs. In order to make certain that you don't purchase the wrong type of equipment or buy more than you require, it is vital to assess your company's needs and compare to the different units on the market. Speaking with a certified forklift distributor is a very great 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 run by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These heavy and large batteries can run a machine 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 choice for warehouses and retail spaces since they provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation and put zero emissions into the air where individuals are working.
Internal Combustion: Internal combustion forklifts operate with a range of fuels. Some units take compressed natural gas or CNG, others take diesel, LP or liquid propane or gasoline. In comparison to electric forklifts, the internal combustion or IC units accelerate faster, are easier to refuel and could carry heavier loads. These models are usually more pricey to operate compared to their electric counterparts.
Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are the latest in forklift technology. These units provide the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts but provide the fast refueling capability of an IC model.
