Reducing the cost of damage to fork lift trucks

Regardless of the workplace, there are several common causes of damages to forklift trucks. Instances of damage could be extremely pricey. Expenses normally relate to expenses of staff downtime and repair. Luckily, nearly all types of forklift truck damage could be avoided. By following these simple tips, fleet operators could make sure that downtime and repair costs are prevented or minimized.



Checking if the machine is appropriate for the environment and the task is a good idea. Perform safety checks on vital systems and truck parts. Be certain that forklift operators are correctly trained and that supervision is provided. Look at the layout of the warehouse/operating area to make sure it facilitates movement. Develop a repair/maintenance plan that can guide actions when anything goes wrong.



Sometimes the driver's actions are at fault, but normally the working surroundings itself could be the root cause of accidents. A safe working surrounding includes having the right equipment for the application.



Taking a long-term and coordinated view of fleet management is the most cost-effective method. The instances of damage can be greatly reduced by having the very same company which supplied the trucks train the operators and perform maintenance and repairs. The company can also provide recommendation about the warehouse design.
