Electric pallet jack serves as one of the most widely used material handling equipment in modern warehouses, retail distribution centers and manufacturing workshops, which helps operators move heavy palletized goods efficiently with much lower labor intensity. A standardized, practical full-cycle checklist can effectively reduce unexpected equipment failure risks, extend the service life of the unit, and avoid unnecessary safety hazards in daily operations, no matter your team is new to the device or has years of operation experience.

The first section of the checklist is the pre-operation pre-start check, which should be finished every time before you turn on the device for daily tasks. First, walk around the whole unit to check for obvious exterior deformation, and clear away any wrapping scraps, small stones or sundries stuck in the wheel gaps that may cause stuck or unstable moving. Next, check the battery power indicator to confirm the remaining power is enough for your planned tasks, and arrange timely charging when the power level drops to the pre-set warning line, to avoid sudden power loss in the middle of a narrow aisle or ramp. Then test the fork lifting and lowering function for 2 to 3 times to confirm the hydraulic system runs smoothly without abnormal leakage, and press every button on the operation handle to verify the braking, walking control and warning functions are fully sensitive and responsive. At last, check the surrounding operation area to remove unexpected barriers, and confirm no unrelated personnel stays in the planned moving route.

The second part is the in-operation regular check, which needs to be implemented during daily working hours. After every 3 long-distance moving tasks, operators can take a short pause to listen to if there is unusual noise from the driving motor or running structure. Never load goods beyond the rated load capacity marked on the equipment nameplate, and do not carry any extra personnel on the pallet jack during moving. When driving on sloped surfaces, keep the moving speed at low level, and make sure the loaded goods are placed evenly and centrally on the forks to prevent slipping off. Avoid sharp turning and sudden braking as much as possible to keep the operation stable.

The third part is the post-operation daily check, which should be completed right after all daily tasks are finished. Park the device at the designated charging and storage area, lower the forks to the lowest position, and turn off the total power switch. Clean up all the sundries and stains on the forks and body surface, and record any small abnormal signs you noticed during the whole operation in the daily maintenance log, so that the maintenance team can handle the tiny issues in time before they develop into bigger faults. For weekly deep check, teams can verify the tightness of all connecting fasteners, keep the battery interface clean and dry, and add proper lubricant to the movable structure parts regularly.
