Before using a manual forklift (ground ox), the following key checks need to be conducted to ensure safe operation of the equipment and prevent accidents:

1、 Hydraulic system inspection

Hydraulic cylinder leakage

Inspection method: Observe whether there are oil stains or oil leakage on the surface of the hydraulic cylinder, and confirm whether the hydraulic rod extends and retracts smoothly without any jamming.

Risk: Leakage may lead to insufficient pressure in the hydraulic system, affecting the stability of fork lifting and even causing cargo tipping.

hydraulic oil level

Inspection method: Check if the oil level in the hydraulic oil tank is within the normal range (usually between the scale lines on the side of the tank).

Risk: Low oil level can lead to insufficient hydraulic system pressure, while high oil level may cause oil overflow or system overheating.

2、 Inspection of pulleys and chains

Effectiveness of pulley device

Inspection method: Manually rotate the pulley to confirm that it rotates flexibly, without any jamming or abnormal noise.

Risk: Failure of the pulley may result in poor lifting and lowering of the fork, increasing operational difficulty or causing equipment damage.

Chain status

Inspection method: Observe whether the chain is intact, without breakage, severe wear or deformation; Check if the chain connection is secure.

Risk: Chain breakage or looseness may cause the fork to suddenly fall, resulting in cargo damage or personal injury.

3、 Wheel and brake inspection

Wheel rotation flexibility

Inspection method: Manually push the forklift and confirm that the wheels rotate smoothly without any jamming or deviation; Check if there are any foreign objects wrapped around the surface of the wheels (such as ropes, plastic bags, etc.).

Risk: Wheel jamming or foreign object entanglement may cause unstable forklift operation, increasing the risk of rollover or collision.

Braking performance

Inspection method: After pushing the forklift to a certain speed on a flat ground, lightly press the brake pedal to confirm that the forklift can stop quickly and smoothly.

Risk: Brake failure may cause the forklift to lose control, leading to collision or rollover accidents.

4、 Forks and structural inspection

Fork status

Inspection method: Observe whether the fork is deformed, bent, or cracked; Check if the fork surface is flat, without cracks or burrs.

Risk: Damage to the fork may result in unstable handling of goods and even cause them to fall.

structural integrity

Inspection method: Check whether the overall structure of the forklift is stable, without looseness or damage; Confirm if the connection between the fork and the frame is secure.

Risk: Loose or damaged structure may cause the forklift to disintegrate during handling, resulting in serious accidents.

5、 Operating environment inspection

Ground conditions

Inspection method: Confirm that the work ground is flat, solid, without slopes, unevenness or obstacles (such as oil stains, water stains, debris, etc.).

Risk: Working on slopes or uneven surfaces may cause forklifts to overturn or goods to tip over.

surrounding environment

Inspection method: Observe whether the work area is spacious and unobstructed by personnel or obstacles; Confirm that there are no flammable or explosive materials in the work area.

Risk: Crowded environments or the presence of hazardous materials may increase the risk of collisions or fires.

6、 Operator qualifications and status

Operation qualification

Inspection method: Confirm that the operator has received specialized training, is familiar with the operation methods and safety precautions of manual forklifts, and holds the corresponding operating qualification certificate.

Risk: Unauthorized operation may lead to misoperation and cause accidents.

Operator status

Inspection method: Confirm that the operator is wearing appropriate work clothes and safety shoes, and is not allowed to wear slippers or high heels during operation; It is strictly prohibited to operate manual forklifts under the influence of alcohol or when feeling unwell.

Risk: Poor operator status may lead to delayed response or operational errors, increasing the risk of accidents.
