    Forklifts: daily pre-use inspection
    Forklifts are integral pieces of warehouse equipment and
    undergo rigorous use every day. As a result, frequent
    inspections are required to ensure the quality of the
    equipment. Inspections are necessary to protect the
    forklift operator because malfunctions in the equipment
    can potentially cause a serious or fatal injury. Before
    using the forklift each day, the operator must conduct
    and document a pre-use inspection. Pre-use inspection
    checklists include a visual check and an operational
    check.
    The visual check
    The visual check involves the visual inspection
    of forklift components. Generally, you are
    checking to make sure that all required
    components are present and in good condition.
    Some areas which require checks are:
    General condition of the forklift
    Fluids (oil, fuel, and radiator)
    Cables, wires, and connections
    Wheels and tires
    The operational check
    The operational check involves turning the
    forklift on and testing various functions of
    the forklift. This is done to ensure that the
    forklift is mechanically sound and able to safely
    perform its function. This may involve:
    Checking engine for noises and leaks
    Checking the seatbelt for damage
    Testing the lights, horns, and brakes
    Remember that these are general guidelines regarding forklifts. There are several different types of forklifts,
    which requires attention to different components during a pre-use inspection. Please refer to the manufacturer for
    details on conducting pre-use inspections for your forklift.
