This includes testing the brake function, checking for unusual noises, and inspecting the brake components for wear or damage. Additionally, a more thorough inspection should be conducted weekly or monthly, depending on usage and regulatory requirements. Regular maintenance ensures safety and optimal performance of the forklift.

The load should always be kept low whenever the forklift is traveling.
Before driving into a trailer with a forklift, the first thing to do is to conduct a thorough inspection of the trailer and the forklift. Ensure the trailer is stable and securely positioned, and check for any hazards or obstructions inside the trailer. Additionally, verify that the load is properly secured and balanced before proceeding. Safety protocols, such as wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, should also be followed.
Forklift spacing should typically be based on the width of the forklift and the aisle width in the warehouse. A general guideline is to leave at least 1.5 times the width of the forklift between aisles to allow for safe and efficient forklift operation. Ensure there is enough clearance for the forklift to maneuver without causing damage to racks, products, or other equipment.
