Performing regular maintenance on your forklift is extremely important, to extend the service life and reduce the risk of accidents. Depending on the size of your company, you may or may not want to outsource your electric forklift maintenance. Should you decide to perform your own maintenance, you may want to consider sending your maintenance staff to forklift training school. These classes will provide your employees with an overview of engine, transmission, drive and steer axles, along with information regarding basic preventative maintenance. Another benefit of attending the class, is that you will be able to receive a CD-ROM with complete schematic diagrams, along with a maintenance manual, and other pertinent information such as parts cross referencing databases.

You should make sure that you are always following OSHA and ANSI rules with regards to the safe operation of material handling equipment. For example, you should never allow your employees to stand on the Fork tines when you are maneuvering your pallet truck. Forklift accidents can cause millions of dollars’ worth of damage every year due to losses in inventory, property, and personal injury.
