Regular maintenance keeps a forklift or loader safe and cuts downtime. This checklist covers three layers: daily pre-use checks (tyres, forks, hydraulics, brakes, battery or fuel), a delivery inspection for newly imported machines, and a wear-part schedule (filters, belts, hoses, forks) by hours run. Following it protects the warranty and the machine’s life. HONGLI supplies spare and wear parts and maintenance guidance for its diesel, electric and skid-steer range; use this checklist alongside the model’s manual.

FAQ
What should I check daily?
Before each shift, check tyres or tracks, forks and mast, hydraulic hoses for leaks, brakes and steering, and the battery charge or the fuel and oil levels. A two-minute walk-around catches most faults before they stop the machine.
What to inspect on a new delivery?
On a newly imported machine, check it against the packing list, look for transit damage, confirm the fluid levels, and run the hydraulics and lift through their range before the first job. Record anything wrong with photos while the container is still open.
When do wear parts need replacing?
Wear parts — filters, belts, hoses and forks — follow the hours run, not the calendar, so track the hour meter against the model’s schedule. Replacing them on time protects the warranty and stops a small part from causing a large failure.
