Downloads: 20+

Conduct a thorough daily forklift pre-use check to verify critical safety items before operation. Inspect brakes, tires and wheels, horn, mirrors, seat belt, lights and beacon, and instrument gauges. Confirm fluid levels and condition, including engine oil, hydraulic oil, transmission oil, coolant water level, and propane. Check hydraulic pipes for leaks, air filter cleanliness, and overall machine cleanliness, then perform a short test drive. Includes weekly checks for tire pressure, battery fluid level, and greasing moving parts. Use this template to improve safety, compliance, and equipment reliability across warehouses, logistics hubs, and industrial sites.
