Creating a pre-shift forklift inspection checklist has a number of benefits for your workplace and your employees. It reduces the guesswork of what forklifts or machines are ready for use and also can help reduce expenses through avoidable repairs. Operation and Maintenance Manuals Typically, your lift trucks’ Operation and Maintenance Manuals (OMM) will recommend the items that need inspection each day, which usually includes some of the following:. Any new damage.

Signs of faulty operation or a deterioration in performance. Leaks from fuel or coolant.

Functionality of optional forklift equipment such as lights Creating a routine around a forklift daily checklist is vital to any application. A daily inspection should include a visual inspection as well as operational checks. Both the Cat® Lift Trucks and Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks Operation & Maintenance Manual provides the following guidelines for an inspection routine every ten service hours, or daily, whichever comes first. Following those interval guidelines, lift truck operators should run through the entirety of this checklist and log this data. Systems and Components Included In A Daily Forklift Inspection Checklist The daily inspection will be unique for a particular type and configuration of forklift and it will include a number of visual and operational checks of the various systems and components. Some of the examples that can be found in the Daily Forklift Inspection Checklist can be found below.

The results of those checks should also be recorded and logged (more details below). General.

Faulty operation found the day before. Check the previous day’s inspection report to see if there were issues.

If repairs were made, make sure they were done properly. Oil, fuel or coolant leaks. Check on the floor for leaks. Brake System.

Parking brake lever. Can you pull the parking brake lever all the way with reasonable effort? Can you hold the lift truck on a grade by pulling the parking brake lever?.

Backup alarm. Make sure this sounds when the forklift is in reverse.

Check electrolyte level of battery (not required if battery type is maintenance free). Mast interlock system. Follow the procedures for your specific model to ensure that the mast does not tilt forward or backward when the interlock system should engage. Driving interlock system. Make sure the area is clear of pedestrians and follow your forklift models’ procedures to ensure that the driving interlock indicator is working and that the driving interlock system is functional. Parking brake warning.

Test the parking brake to check if the alarm and warning icon are functional. Test the lift truck’s seat belt to see if the warning alarm and warning icon are functional. Forklift Engine. Check the engine to see if exhaust smoke appears normal and that there is no abnormal noise or excessive vibration. Check oil level (on a level surface).

Fuel System. Check fuel level to ensure you have enough fuel in your forklift for the shift. Frame and Chassis. Load backrest extension. Is the load backrest extension free of distortion, cracks and other defects? Shake the load backrest extension to check for excessive rattle. Overhead guard.

Front Axle, Rear Axle, and Steering System. Steering wheel and column.

Check to see if the steering wheel is loose. Wheel nuts. Any loose nuts should be tightened and any missing or damaged nuts should be replaced.

Driving System. Accelerator pedal. Can you depress the accelerator pedal smoothly without any sign of rubbing?. Inching pedal. Is the free play correct?.

Check transmission oil level. Make sure to operate the lift truck for a few minutes to warm the oil before checking. Documenting the Daily Forklift Checklist Form We recommend that each forklift inspection checklist be personalized to your specific needs rather than simply finding one online and copying it. It’s likely that your work environment has different conditions and your equipment or lift truck usage may vary substantially. One example would be including an inspection of the air filter and air cleaner if you are operating your forklifts in dusty operations.

Once the pre-shift inspection is completed, have your operators sign and date the forklift checklist form and give it to their supervisor. Once the supervisor fully reviews the inspection and notes any necessary repairs, the lift truck inspection form should be placed in the forklift’s file. Having these checklists on file could help you avoid citations if you are ever inspected by OSHA. Creating a Culture of Safety As valuable as forklift safety checklists can be for creating a safe working environment, it’s important to create a culture that encourages forklift operators to report all potential issues. Be sure to make it company policy that if operators find anything not in good working order, it must be reported.

When a forklift is discovered to have any issues, that could pose a safety concern with the forklift, it should be tagged in a very obvious manner (many operations use a red tag). The lift truck should be removed from service until all necessary repairs have been completed. Make it clear that safety and productivity both suffer if operators ignore their findings and try to get the forklift to work for 'just one more shift.'
