Are your Forklifts and Pallet Jacks ready for the Holiday Season?
Are your Forklifts and Pallet Jacks ready for the Holiday Season?
Plan ahead: It might sound elementary, but basic planning and preparation of your physical space will ensure that warehouse efficiency is maximized for the holiday season. Having a well-organized, clean, and safe warehouse environment should be the no-brainer of any warehouse operations, but it’s even more important during the holiday season when the pace is frenzied.
Be Proactive in making Service & Repair to Equipment
Unexpected downtime in the warehouse could create a backup in the operation of receiving, storing, picking, packing, and shipping products. Although preventative maintenance should be conducted regularly throughout the year, it’s important to make sure that necessary equipment is properly operating before the peak of the holiday season.
Service All Your Equipment
Eager to prepare your warehouse for the holiday season?
Make sure that all of your forklifts, hand lifts, and other essential warehouse equipment are serviced and in great condition before you head into the holiday season. Also, make sure that all of your operators know how to properly check their equipment for issues.
OSHA provides a standard forklift maintenance checklist that can prove especially useful this time of year. Creating, maintaining, and updating your own checklist can help you keep up with ongoing maintenance required to keep lifts in good working order. This isn’t a step you’ll want to skip – poorly maintained equipment can lead to accidents, injuries, and OSHA violations. By staying ahead of the service requirements, you minimize disruptions.
Put Safety First
Finally, but maybe most importantly, make sure that all of your employees are properly trained in safety procedures. This includes all of your regular employees and temporary employees. Make sure they know proper equipment operation and understand the flow and traffic patterns of the warehouse. And, don’t forget to provide the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to all employees. PPE can make the difference between a safe and productive warehouse and lost time due to injuries.

4 Simple Safety Precautions around your Pallet Jack
Though relatively simple machines, pallet jacks can cause serious injury and damage to goods if not used and stored safely.
Implement these 4 points to keep everyone, and your equipment, safe:
1. Always inspect the pallet jack before use
Before operating a pallet jack, always look and ensure everything is in working order. You want to look for things such as loose prongs, unbalanced wheels, debris in wheels, or oil leaks.
You might want to ensure that your jack lifts and releases properly. If it doesn't, try to bleed it.
If your wheels are worn, or any other parts are broken or missing, make sure to call right away and get your replacement parts. We have more than 200,000 parts in stock and an order fill rate of 98%. We ship same day if you order before 6 P.M. EST. In addition, you can watch our step-by-step videos on how to do basic repairs on your pallet jack.
Though it may seem like a waste of time, it’s worth it to take the extra couple of minutes to make sure you don’t accidentally drop your pallet due to a faulty pallet jack.
2. Make sure your path is clear
The second step is to make sure that the route you will be taking to the pallet, and then with the pallet, is clear of obstacles and reasonably clean. Look for stray construction materials and electric cords, and take note of the ground surface. If the ground is too rough, find another route.
3. Keep Machine Access Restricted
You will want to make sure that only authorized personnel are able to operate. You could keep access restricted with a security code needed to use the machine, or with something as simple as a sign-in and sign-out sheet which will allow you to keep track of who is using each one. This might also prompt a check to make sure to leave the jack in good condition after using it.
4. Store Pallet Jacks in a Secure Area
This is especially important if you are working on a site that non-workers can easily access. Make sure that the pallet jacks are kept in an area that is not easily accessible by customers or civilians, and that the machines are kept out of the way so other workers can easily move around the site.
