Assign Forklift Inspection to an Individual Forklift or an Entire Asset Class

To assign forklift inspection to an individual forklift or an entire asset class quickly takes some technology and automation, especially if you want to track the results. But some may ask, are there benefits to assign forklift inspection in bulk? And if so, how and where. But first, let’s all agree that the purpose of doing this is for OSHA compliance. As we all know, OSHA requires a daily, pre-shift inspection for all powered industrial trucks. We also know how cumbersome it has been with a paper-based binder or booklet system. The pre-inspection checklist may be done, but may not be done with accuracy or care, you can’t ‘see’ the overview of the health nor can you get other information or notifications when a forklift or lift truck fails. Now that we’ve covered this part, let’s get started.

What is Assign Forklift Inspection?

Assign forklift inspection is the electronic or digital way to manage the assignment of the pre-shift forklift inspection by asset class type or when a new lift truck has been added to the fleet. It’s critical for OSHA compliance to ensure the right forklift inspection checklist is tied to the right lift truck for a proper and thorough inspection.

Digital Forklift Inspection Setup

We’re going to focus primarily on the assign forklift inspection, which is located in the Telemetry Dashboard of the SIERA.AI’s forklift safety system. Let’s say you decided to purchase 20 new reach trucks and you’ve never used them before. These new reach trucks need a forklift inspection checklist. Once you either upload or enter in the items into the checklist into the telemetry Dashboard system, it’s time assign it to the reach trucks.

The purpose of the assign forklift checklist to an entire class of forklifts is to make things easier and faster for you. You can pick the class truck, in this example, the reach truck, and assign the particular checklist at one time. That took a second. Now, let’s add to the story. Let’s say business has been going great, and as a result you need another reach truck. When the truck comes in, you enter the fleet truck information and the digital checklist will automatically be assigned. Be beauty is that there will be no mistakes or confusion in assignment.

Dashboard

Now everything is working as needed on the facility floor. The forklift operators are completing their inspection reports and the data is being collected. You can go into the Dashboard and check on any of the forklift class down to an individual truck any information you want to view.

But if you want to focus your efforts, use the notification system to let you know of critical events, say if a forklift fails an inspection. You’ll get the notification in real-time and begin to make a decision on the particular truck. Does it need your attention, does it need to go to maintenance and most importantly, will this cause downtime.
