Daily inspection items for small electric forklift 1.5 ton before use

As an electric forklift expert, proper daily pre-use inspection for 1.5 ton small electric forklifts is critical to ensuring operational safety, reducing downtime, and extending equipment lifespan, whether you operate a BYD Forklift or models from Jianshu New Energy. Before starting each shift, start with a visual check of the forklift’s body: look for any visible damage, leaks (especially from battery or hydraulic systems), loose bolts, or bent components that could affect performance. Next, inspect the tires: confirm they are properly inflated (per manufacturer recommendations, typically listed in the equipment manual), check for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear on treads, as underinflated or damaged tires can compromise stability and maneuverability in tight spaces. Then test the brake system: engage the foot brake and release it to ensure smooth operation, test the parking brake on an incline to confirm it holds firmly, and check for any signs of brake fluid leaks or unusual sounds during braking. The power system is another key area: verify the battery charge level is sufficient for the shift (avoiding a dead battery mid-operation), check that the battery connections are tight and free of corrosion, and confirm no unusual odors (like sulfur from a damaged battery). Inspect all lights and safety signals: front headlights, taillights, turn signals, and the mandatory reverse alarm must be functional to ensure visibility in warehouses or outdoor settings. Finally, test the control levers for fork tilt, lift, and movement for smooth, responsive operation, and confirm the emergency stop button works correctly by pressing it to cut power instantly. If any issues are found during inspection, do not operate the forklift until they are resolved.
