Warning: Battery charging installations must be located in designated areas free of non-essential combustible materials.

Facilities provided for flushing spilled electrolyte?

Charging apparatus protected from damage by trucks?

Adequate ventilation for dispersal of fumes from gassing batteries?

When handling acid concentrates greater than 50 percent acid (above 1.400 specific gravity), an eye wash fountain must be provided.

Conveyor, overhead hoist, or equivalent material handling equipment provided for handling batteries?

IMPORTANT! Electric truck batteries are heavy, awkward to handle, filled with a very hazardous chemical solution, give off hydrogen and oxygen which, in certain concentrations, are explosive, and they are costly.

Warning: This inspection requires trained personnel with PPE!

Inspect the load forks for cracks, breaks, bending and wear. The fork top surfaces should be level and even with each other. The height difference between both fork tips should be no more than 1.5% of the blade length.

WARNING! If the fork blade heel is worn down by more than 10 percents, the load capacity is reduced and the fork must be replaced.

Inspect the forks for twists and bends. Put a 2\ thick metal block

If the fork blades are obviously bent or damaged, have them inspected by a trained maintenance person before operating the truck.

Inspect the fork locating pins. Be sure they are not damaged or broken and operate freely and lock correctly. Check the fork stop pins for secure condition.
