The inspection and testing methods for forklifts cover multiple systems such as appearance, power, handling, sensors, passenger load, lighting, brakes, tire suspension, electrical, sound and vibration. It requires a combination of visual inspection, manual operation, testing instrument detection, functional testing, and dynamic testing, while complying with relevant safety technical specifications and standards. Here are the specific methods:

1、 Inspection items and content

Appearance inspection: Check the overall appearance of the forklift, including whether the paint, tires, lighting fixtures, etc. are intact, and whether there is any obvious damage or wear.

Power system inspection: Check if the engine, battery, motor, transmission system, etc. of the forklift are working properly, and if there are any abnormal sounds, poor heat dissipation, or other issues.

Control system inspection: Check whether the forklift's cab, control lever, brake system, etc. are working properly, and whether there are any faults such as jamming, loosening, or brake failure.

Sensor and control system inspection: The sensors and control systems of forklifts are very important for improving work efficiency and safety, so it is necessary to check whether the sensors and control systems are working properly, whether there are faults and errors.

Crew and load system inspection: Check whether the seats, seat belts, load boxes, etc. of the forklift are intact, and whether there are any problems such as damage or deformation.

Lighting system inspection: Check if the forklift's lighting system is working properly, including front and rear lights, turn signals, brake lights, etc.

Brake system inspection: The brake system of a forklift is crucial for operational safety, and it is necessary to check whether the brakes and brake fluid are working properly, and whether the braking force meets the standard.

Tire and suspension system inspection: Check whether the tires of the forklift are worn, aged, leaking, etc. Check whether the suspension system is working properly and whether there is any abnormal looseness.

Electrical system inspection: Check whether the forklift's electrical system is working properly, including whether the circuits, cables, switches, etc. are damaged, aged, and have poor contacts.

Sound and vibration inspection: Check if there are any abnormal sounds, vibrations, or other issues with the forklift during operation to determine if there are any potential faults.

2、 Testing method

Visual inspection: By observing whether the appearance, components, instruments, etc. of the forklift are normal, and whether there are obvious problems such as damage, deformation, and looseness.

Manual operation inspection: Manually operate the control lever, brake, suspension system, etc. of the forklift to check whether their flexibility and braking force are normal.

Testing instrument inspection: Use testing instruments to inspect the power system, electrical system, sensors, etc. of the forklift to determine if its working status is normal.

Functional test: Conduct operational tests on the driving, lifting, turning, and other functions of the forklift to check for any abnormalities.

Dynamic test: Conduct a forklift driving test in an appropriate environment to test its acceleration, braking distance, turning radius, etc.

3、 Inspection cycle and records

Inspection cycle: Forklifts should be inspected regularly, including daily inspections, monthly inspections, annual inspections, etc. Daily inspections should be conducted before each use, while monthly and annual inspections should be conducted at designated intervals according to relevant regulations.

Inspection records: For each forklift inspection, corresponding inspection records should be established and the inspection results should be saved. This can effectively track the usage, malfunction, and maintenance status of forklifts.

4、 Inspection standards and specifications

The inspection of forklifts should follow relevant safety technical specifications and standards, such as the "Safety Technical Specification for Special Equipment" and the "Safety Technical Regulations for Special Motor Vehicles in the Field (Factory)" (TSG 81-2022). These specifications and standards have clear provisions for the inspection items, inspection methods, inspection cycles, etc. of forklifts.
