This forklift inspection checklist is easier and more organised than any PDF, word doc or excel sheet.

The forklift is one of the most common pieces of industrial equipment in the world. Forklifts are used by companies in the construction, manufacturing, logistics and mining industries - just to name a few.

Forklifts have saved these companies countless productive hours, and saved many workers from arduous manual labour. Although forklifts are reliable and relatively simple machines, they still need to be inspected and maintained properly so that they can continue to be used safely.

One of the most powerful mechanisms in ensuring that forklifts are maintained well is a forklift inspection checklist. This checklist (like the example you see to the right) provides workers or inspectors with a standardised framework for inspecting the forklift - whether that be on a daily basis, pre-use basis or general safety inspection cadence.

You can use this template and framework for your own forklift inspections.

Unlike PDFs, word doc and excel-based templates, this template is quick and easy to use for everyone.

The forklift operator or inspector can access and open the checklist on their mobile or tablet device and easily fill it in and sign it off.

All of the records completed are automatically synced to the cloud, where they can be stored or exported as a perfectly formatted PDF or CSV document with your logo.

Instead of people having to fill in forms manually, and scan, upload and email documents - everyone can easily do their jobs while the forklift stays in better and safer working order.

Use this checklist template as is, or customise it to suit you.
