Each day your Indiana warehouse uses your forklift, you put a little bit more wear and tear on your forklift forks. Eventually, the forks will wear down to the point that they should not carry any more loads. Forks left on too long can bend or break, leaving you with damaged merchandise or a hurt operator. For a safe and efficient operation, you need to use the best practices for when and how you should replace your forklift forks.
OSHA stipulates daily inspections of forklifts, including forks. If the forklift is used on a 24-hour schedule, then you should inspect after every shift. Forks will also be thoroughly looked over if you have a scheduled maintenance plan.
Inspections should concentrate on bends, cracks, or any other wear and tear that would jeopardize the integrity of the forks. Accidents and improper load management can impact the thickness and structure of your forks, but so can daily use. In fact, if your forks lose even 10% of its thickness from normal wear and tear, then they can no longer support the weight they were designed for and will have to be replaced.
You should specifically look at:
The best bet is to let a certified forklift technician replace your forks, so you know that they are assembled and calibrated properly. If you do insist on changing them yourself, always follow the precise instructions in your manufacturer’s owners’ manual. Different forklift models may have different ways to change the forks, and you do not want to damage the forklift by attempting an incorrect install.
Some warehouse managers will also take the opportunity to see if they need to upgrade to the right forks. Since the forks are already going to be replaced, it may be the best time to get thicker forks for an increased load capacity. You also may want to add an attachment that will help you perform a specialized task. Just remember, any changes that result in different load capacity or attachments must be approved by the manufacturer and a new data plate must be ordered to reflect the change.
