Electric Forklift Repair

What do you check on a electric forklift?
Electric forklifts require regularly scheduled servicing to be certain your equipment keeps running for years to come. There are several “standard” checks you should conduct on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The following check list is a great place to start. Keep in mind, the trained eye will notice problems relatively quickly, so if you’re new to this, take your time to examine components thoroughly.

 

Electric Forklift Maintenance Checklist

  • Check for leaks, cracks and visible defects anywhere and everywhere
  • Check mast chains visually while avoiding the use of hands
  • Test mast chain tension by lifting the load backrest to eye level—the mast chains should be level and any tilting may signify stretching or broken rollers.
  • Check tire condition, pressure, and look for any cuts or gouges
  • Determine fork condition, remembering to check the top clip retaining pin and heel
  • Ensure load backrest extension functions properly
  • Check functionality of finger guards
  • Ensure safety decals and nameplates are legible and match the forklift model
  • Check that the operators’ manual and log book are present and legible
  • Ensure the operators’ manual compartment is clean of debris
  • Test all functional safety devices, such as seat belts and horns
  • Check the brakes, steering controls and other operational items for proper function
