Having responsibility for forklift trucks means carrying out comprehensive inspections of them in order to obtain a report of Thorough Examination. This is a legal requirement whether your business owns the vehicles or is hiring them on a temporary basis. It should probably considered good practice to go through this process when planning to sell a forklift. The examination is not unlike the sort of inspection a road car goes through when undergoing an MOT. That means that all the moving parts and critical components are checked to make sure they are functioning correctly and that they comply with the necessary regulations. This comes into force when the forklift is one year old and needs to be repeated annually. Naturally, this continues after one company decides to sell a forklift on to another organisation. Examinations have to be carried out by qualified people ? that could be either an experienced forklift driver or an inspections expert working for an insurance company. It`s best to find a company accredited by Consolidated Fork Truck Services to carry out inspections, so you know you`ve covered yourself when you come to sell the forklift. Failure to carry out the examination may land you in court, render your insurance useless and result in a serious, or even fatal, accident.
