TISI Forklift Inspection Checklist: Thailand Industrial Site Compliance Prep

Preparing for a TISI (Thai Industrial Standards Institute) forklift inspection is critical for any industrial site operating in Thailand. This checklist helps ensure your electric forklifts meet the required safety and performance standards, avoiding delays or penalties. All points are based on general regulatory principles and industry best practices—no extreme claims, just practical guidance.

Start with the forklift’s visible condition. Check for cracks, corrosion, or damage on the mast, forks, carriage, and overhead guard. Ensure tires have adequate tread and no cuts. Verify that all labels, including load capacity and safety decals, are legible and in place. For electric models, inspect battery cables for fraying and ensure the charger area is clean and dry.

Next, functional checks are vital. Test the horn, lights, turn signals, and backup alarm. Operate the lift, tilt, and steering mechanisms through full ranges—listen for unusual noises. Confirm that brakes engage smoothly and the parking brake holds on a slight slope. Check the emergency stop button activates correctly. For BYD Forklift units, the regenerative braking and energy management system should be tested per the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure compliance with TISI’s electrical safety requirements.

Documentation is equally important. Keep a log of daily pre-operation checklists, periodic maintenance records, and operator training certificates. TISI may request proof that repairs and modifications follow approved procedures. Any hydraulic or electrical system alterations must be recorded without referencing proprietary brands. Your site’s safety manager should review all paperwork weekly.

Finally, prepare your work environment. Ensure charging stations are ventilated and free of flammable materials. Mark designated forklift travel paths and keep them clear. Train operators to understand TISI inspection protocols—focus on hazard identification and proper shutdown procedures.
