Use this forklift operator weekly checklist to guide pre-use inspections of material handling equipment. The form covers checks before and after startup, including tires and rims, fluid levels and leaks, guards and seatbelt condition, lights and alarms, steering and brakes, and hydraulic lift, tilt and reach. Record site details and the inspector’s name and signature, then confirm whether the forklift is safe to operate. Templates are examples only and should be reviewed for suitability and compliance with your workplace and jurisdiction.
