Ensuring your counterbalanced stacker is safe and reliable starts with a daily safety check. A quick inspection before each shift helps prevent accidents, reduces downtime, and prolongs equipment life. Here’s a practical guide to keep your stacker in top condition.
1. Inspect Forks and Mast
-
Check for cracks, bends, or misalignment.
-
Ensure the forks move smoothly and the mast operates without unusual noise.
2. Check Tires and Wheels
-
Remove debris and inspect for wear or damage.
-
Ensure pneumatic tires are properly inflated; solid tires should be free of chunks or cracks.
3. Test Battery and Connections
-
Make sure terminals are clean and cables are securely attached.
-
Check for corrosion or signs of overheating.
4. Verify Safety Devices
-
Test brakes, horn, emergency stop, and warning lights.
-
Make sure all safety features function correctly before operation.
5. Quick Hydraulic Check
-
Test lifting, lowering, and tilt functions for smooth operation.
-
Check for leaks or abnormal noises in hoses, cylinders, and fittings.
