Atlantic Training’s Forklift Training DVD Program reviews how to inspect forklifts and other powered industrial truck equipment prior to operation, safe operating procedures, forklift stability, and how to recognize potential problem situations.
Begin each day by giving your truck a once-over. A vehicle used around the clock should be checked after each shift. If you find something wrong, take the key out of the ignition and put a sign on the vehicle that identifies it as out-of-service and then alert your supervisor of the problem. Create a checklist for your inspection. Start with the exterior. Make sure moving parts operate correctly and safety guards are not bent or broken. The air pressure in pneumatic tires must be kept up to spec. Solid tires should not have any gashes or embedded debri.
