A pallet truck is a means of lifting a load using hydraulic pump power and transporting it horizontally on a wheel. Transpaletler The load to be transported is usually loaded on the pallets. There are manpower-working models as well as battery-operated models. The two forks located in front of them are placed in the gaps on the pallets and the forks are lifted upwards and loaded.
The pallet trucks are equipped with special scissor lift, short pallet truck or long pallet truck. These vehicles are only suitable for carrying loads, no live transport. The general operation of the pallet trucks is not pulling but pushing. In general, the carrying capacities of the pallet trucks are shown on the label on them. If the load is above the indicated capacity, or if the center of gravity of the pallet truck is not compatible with the center of gravity of the load, the pallet truck may tip over and the load on it may be damaged.
With these features pallet trucks, life and property safetycan threaten. Therefore, the annex of the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (Annex 3 Maintenance, Repair and Periodic Controls), transponders, stackers (forklifts, pallet trucks, lifts).
If no other period is stipulated in the other legal regulations regarding the use of transponders, it is necessary to carry out periodic inspections and trunks of pallet trucks at least once a year.
According to the provisions of the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment, inspections and inspections for pallet trucks must be made by authorized engineers such as mechanical engineers, machine technicians or high technicians. In the meantime, reports issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security are also valid. However, the examinations and controls to be performed and the reports to be prepared are not considered valid.
According to the Regulation, the standards that should be considered during these controls are:
- TS 10689
- TS EN 1757-2
- TS ISO 5057
- TS 10201 ISO 3184
- TS ISO 6055
- TS ISO 1074
- FEM 4.004
During the inspection and inspection procedures, it is checked whether the pallet trucks are capable of safely lifting and suspending at least 1,25 of the declared load, unless otherwise specified in these standards. In addition, it is checked whether the pallet trucks are resistant to this load and have sufficient power brakes.
The inspection reports of the pallet trucks are examined before the inspection process is started. If it is seen that the corrected faults and faults are not corrected, they are expected to be corrected first. The pallet trucks are then visually inspected. Mechanical and functional controls are performed. Loaded and unloaded, whether or not the expected functions are checked.
TÜRCERT certification body, as well as conformity assessment and certification studies, testing and inspection services also gives. TÜRCERT certification body is ready to meet the needs of the enterprises with its experienced managers and employees, if it is necessary to obtain more information about the periodical inspection of the pallet trucks or to carry out these examinations and inspections.
