A forklift pre-use check takes five minutes and can prevent a fatal accident. This checklist covers the visual and operational checks that every operator should perform before using a forklift — tyres, forks, mast, hydraulics, brakes, steering, lights, horn, battery/fuel, and safety devices — following the standard walk-around and seated test sequence.

Daily pre-use inspection is a legal and insurance requirement in most jurisdictions. Completed checklists create a documented record that the operator verified the truck was safe before each shift.

This checklist template is provided as a general-purpose resource and is not tailored to the regulatory requirements of any specific country, region, or jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of each organisation to review and adapt this template to ensure compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations. Miratag does not accept liability for any inaccuracies or omissions, or for any actions taken based on this template.
