Forklift Maintenance Best Practices
Logbook Maintenance: keep a detailed log of inspections, servicing, and repairs. This helps in tracking the condition of the forklift and identifying recurring issues
Use Qualified Technicians: only certified technicians should handle major repairs or servicing
OEM Parts: use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts to maintain the integrity and performance of the forklift
Regular Training: train operators on how to conduct daily inspections and recognise warning signs
Preventive Maintenance Programme: schedule regular maintenance based on the manufacturer’s guidelines and usage pattern
