Experienced industrial equipment owners know a program of proactive inspection and scheduled maintenance is the best way to promote forklift safety, lower total cost of ownership, and increase equipment uptime and total lifespan.

Pre-Shift Inspection
Thorough pre-shift inspections result in improved forklift safety by confirming safe lift truck operation prior to use. Pre-shift inspections are not just recommended on powered industrial lift trucks, they are required by law1.

To help you perform thorough pre-shift inspections, Crown provides Operator's Daily Checklists for your Crown lift trucks free of charge. Download and print from the links provided, or contact your Crown Dealer for printed copies.

Operator's Daily Checklist - English

Planned Maintenance Inspection
Do you perform your own scheduled maintenance? Crown publishes detailed periodic inspection, adjustment and lubrication information in the service and parts manual for your Crown lift truck.

In addition, Crown provides Planned Maintenance Inspection Checklists, which are customized for each Crown model to help assure a thorough inspection. You may also contact your local Crown Dealer for printed copies.

The right parts2 and the right maintenance play an important role in helping you promote both forklift safety and your bottom line. Your Crown Dealer offers a variety of maintenance programs - from focused programs designed to complement your in-house maintenance, to more comprehensive, fixed-monthly-cost programs which cover every aspect of forklift maintenance.
