There are many areas to focus on when performing forklift maintenance. The gas engine or electric motor, the hydraulic system and the tires are frequently involved in specialized forklift maintenance programs. In many locations, it is required that all forklift maintenance and repair be completed by a trained and certified mechanic, such as those certified with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or OSHA in the United States.
Most forklift drivers work 8-hour (or longer) shifts, but that doesnât mean the job is a nine-to-fiver. In places where customers are around, most forklift work is done after hours. In 24-hour warehouses, shifts can be around the clock. Operating a forklift is considered a hazardous occupation, according to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
