3 Types of Forklift Maintenance
Regular Maintenance
You should have your forklift regularly inspected according to the manufacturer's recommendation - if there are no recommendations, then you should get it inspected every 200 hours.
Annual Maintenance
In addition to regular inspections, you should book a more thorough and complete inspection of your forklifts approximately every 2,000 hours or once a year, whichever comes first.
Lifting Capacity Inspection
You should have your forklift's lifting capacity inspected before it is used for the first time, each time a new owner takes possession, and at least once per year to ensure it is capable of handling its maximum load.
