Yes, forklifts and other equipment that receive regular maintenance are less likely to break down and operate more efficiently than those that don't: Reduced downtime: Regular maintenance helps to identify and address potential issues before they become major problems, which can reduce downtime and save money on lost productivity and repairs. Increased safety: Well-maintained forklifts are safer to operate because all the parts are functioning properly, which can reduce the risk of accidents and worker's compensation claims. Longer lifespan: Regular maintenance can help a forklift last longer, with some forklifts that are serviced regularly lasting up to 10 years or more. Reduced operating costs: Regular maintenance can help reduce the overall operating cost of a forklift by helping to prevent the need for expensive replacements of worn or damaged parts. Improved productivity: A well-maintained forklift can move more loads and increase production, which can help to keep your operation schedule running smoothly. Better team morale: Improved safety can help to boost company morale by showing your team that you care about their safety and well-being. Meets regulatory requirements: Regular maintenance can help to ensure that your equipment meets regulatory requirements. #fypシ゚ #service #PM #preventativemaintenance #maintenance #Ohio #neo #love

Today is #NationalForkliftSafetyDay, an initiative launched by the Industrial Truck Association to call attention to preventing forklift accidents. Forklift Safety Day “is committed to the safety of those who manufacture, operate, and work around forklifts. [It’s] an opportunity to highlight the importance of operator training and pedestrian awareness, where stakeholders and industry experts come together…to share resources on the best safety practices while using this indispensable equipment.” Forklifts are a regular feature at #NationwideFixtureInstallations job sites, so we wanted to amplify this important message…stay safe on the job, behind the wheel, and whenever you’re hard at work. #NFI #installation #constructionindustry #custominstall #installationservices #reinstallsatisfaction #thisiswhyNFI #custominstallationservices #staysafe #forkliftsafety #construction

🛑🛑 STABILITY TRIANGLE 🛑🛑 ✨✨Almost all counterbalanced powered industrial trucks have a three point suspension system ,,✨that is, the vehicle is supported at three points. The truck's steer axle is attached to the truck by a pivot pin in the axle's center. ✨ ✨When the points are connected with imaginary lines, this three-point support forms a triangle called the stability triangle.✨ ✨As long as the center of gravity of the load is within this stability triangle, the industrial truck will not tip over.✨ ⚡simple ways to avoid a tip - over.⚡ 💫💫Do not turn sharply, even with an empty raised mast, to avoid a tip-over! 💫💫When turning a corner, reduce speed to a safe level consistent with the operating environment. 💫💫Do not make fast or sharp turns with a loaded or unloaded lift truck! 💫💫Do not tilt elevated loads forward! 💫💫Avoid fast starts, turns and sudden stops! 💫💫Watch “tail swing!” 💫💫Be aware of the stability of an empty lift truck! 💫operators should thoroughly understand and heed safety instructions in their Operations and Maintenance Manuals so they can completely understand how to avoid tip-overs as well as actions to take if one occurs. #workersafety #heavyequipment #heavymachinery #portsandterminals #shippingindustry #shipping #shippingworldwide #forklift #hse #hseprofessionals #terminaloperations #ports

National safety body Safe Work Australia has moved to combat injuries fatalities in the mobile plant and equipment sector among mobile equipment operators and drivers by updating its Code of Practice to include guidance on vehicle roll-aways and safe immobilisation. #cranes #craneoperators #liftingindustry #liftingequipment #liftingoperations #liftingsolutions #constructionindustry #miningindustry #infrastructure #heavymachinery #heavyequipment

Case learnings A transport and logging company was engaged in the transportation of approximately 15,000 tonnes of timber a week. The Company employed and subcontracted heavy vehicle drivers to transport the timber. Between December 2019 and February 2020, the company directed 9 drivers to transport timber using either their own heavy vehicle or the company's heavy vehicles. Over the 3-month period, the drivers committed 251 work diary and fatigue-related offences. Minimal training was provided to the drivers and the schedulers to address the ongoing fatigue breaches. Similarly, minimal disciplinary and/or remedial action was taken to address the ongoing fatigue breaches. The investigation revealed that: ❌The company was not compliant with its own policies and procedures. ❌Schedulers did not have access to the drivers’ National Driver Work Diary records. ❌While there was GPS installed on a number of the heavy vehicles, the data was not cross referenced against driver work records. ❌The schedulers were not up to date in training. ❌Drivers were often scheduled weeks in advance with no process for ensuring drivers were fit for work. ❌Some drivers never participated in any toolbox talks with the company. #safetyfirst National Heavy Vehicle Regulator Penelope Baker Dallas Henderson

Truck drivers and machine operators are responsible for ensuring that they do not harm other people or damage property at work. People such as main contractors have a key role in facilitating coordination meetings where work areas are shared. They are the only duty holder with the authority to get two or more contractors or employees together to discuss arrangements before trucks/machines and pedestrian traffic begin working along side eachother. The attached toolbox talk sets out some ground rules for drivers to be alert to, especially on when they must stop their movements.

Communication and situational awareness is key when executing a task.
