Forklift Maintenance

Description

Modifying Forklifts

  • Use only approved parts: When replacing forklift components, ensure replacements are equivalent to the original manufacturer’s parts.
  • No unauthorized modifications: Do not alter, remove, or add parts—including counterweights or lifting attachments—unless written approval is obtained from the manufacturer.
  • Update documentation: Any approved modifications must be reflected in the forklift’s load capacity plate and operating instructions.

Cleaning Forklifts

  • Operator responsibility: Forklift operators must keep their equipment clean.
  • Routine cleaning: At the start or end of each shift, wipe all surfaces to remove dust, dirt, and grease.
  • Recommended method: Use a wax-treated flannel cloth, similar to those used for cleaning cars, to protect surfaces while removing debris.
