There are a number of items indicated on the maintenance chart that must be
performed on a daily basis. These checks are essential in keeping the truck in
optimum working condition. These and a number of other checks form what is
known as the daily inspection of the lift truck.
In most countries, it is required by law for the operator to perform the daily
inspection and for the company to have a written record of these checks.
Contact your local authorities in order to find out what regulations are in place
regarding daily inspections of industrial equipment of this nature.
The daily inspection must be carried out at the start of the working day before
the machine commences operation. Alternatively if your company operates a
multi shift system the checks should be carried out by operators at the
beginning of each shift. The inspection can be broken into 3 sections:
The Visual Checks
The Engine Checks
The Operational Checks
The details of the Inspection should be recorded on a Checklist like the one
provided (page 4-6) and a record of these inspections should be kept on file
within your company’s records.
The Visual Checks
These checks are performed by doing a “walk around” inspection of the
machine. The checks are performed by checking the following items as
detailed below.
Overall condition – Look for scrapes, dents, and other signs of damage.
Watch for missing or loose nuts and bolts. Check underneath the
machine for signs of leaking fuel, engine coolant, or oil.
Tyres and wheels – Check that all the wheel nuts are present and tight.
Look for cuts in the tyres or foreign objects in the rubber. Also look for
Plastic straps, wire, and other debris caught between the wheel and the
wheel motor. Note: Always wear gloves when checking the tyres to
avoid injury on sharp pieces of debris.
Warning
Before attempting any checks ensure that you are wearing the correct safety
equipment, i.e. gloves, safety boots, eye protection in form of safety glasses
or a full-face shield.
