Warehouse Forklift Maintenance
Having a proper maintenance program for forklifts would help to increase the lifespan of the equipment and is also a vital factor to the safe use of the machine. Completing regular forklift inspections and performing preventive maintenance regularly would help to ensure the efficient and safe use of the machinery.

Daily Checklist
The daily checklist is an invaluable tool in any forklift maintenance program. These checklists will help to document any and all potential issues. They are required by the OSHA or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The daily checklists can also be audited by OSHA during any routine inspection. Operators must complete the inspection from the start of their shift. If any major issues are found, the forklift is not to be put into service until the issue has been fixed.

Maintenance and Safety Go Hand-in-Hand
Each year approximately 100 people are injured in forklift mishaps within the USA. Statistics show that around 20,000 people would be injured seriously because of a forklift accident. This number represents 54 individuals a day, 7 days a week, for the whole year. Many of these mishaps can be prevented easily if the forklift had been correctly maintained and serviced. In some circumstances, it might seem like a cost savings to skip or delay routine maintenance, however, these savings would pale in comparison to the cost of one mishap.

Things to be Serviced
The manufacturers owner guidebook would include a recommended maintenance schedule. Schedules would vary depending on each and every manufacturer and each and every kind of forklift. Each schedule will consist of various basic things. Like for example, in a combustion engine, the oil filters and the engine oil would need to be replaced sometimes. Hydraulic levels must be inspected also. Be certain to inspect hoses for any indications of cracking. Other items include the transmission, the electrical systems and the brakes of the forklift.
