The Basics Humans Need to Live are the Basics Forklifts Need to Perform

Food, shelter, clothing, proper hygiene, medical and dental check-ups are what enables a person to live by a certain standard. Proper nourishment, rest, and care are what allow the human body to perform at its best. Shouldn’t we afford our warehouse equipment the same?

As warehouse managers, business owners, lift truck operators, we invested a lot in acquiring our forklift.
To have it perform to its potential and to extend its length of use, we must provide it with proper nourishment, rest, and care.

How long has it been since its last oil, filter, and fluid change?

For electric lift trucks, do you have enough batteries to alternate between?

When did you last have your forklift serviced?

Is it on a regular maintenance schedule as prescribed by its manual?

Have you checked the tires recently?

Are its braking systems up to standards?
