Thorough examination

What is a Thorough Examination?

A Thorough Examination is a legally required forklift inspection that ensures lifting equipment and safety-critical components function correctly. Similar to an MOT for cars, this forklift safety check covers:
  • Lifting mechanisms and hydraulics
  • Brakes and steering systems
  • Tyres, forks and chains
  • Operator controls and safety features

Did you know?

A Thorough Examination must be conducted at least once a year, but depending on usage, some forklifts and warehouse machinery may require more frequent inspections.

Types of Warehouse Equipment That Require a Thorough Examination

Our CFTS-accredited Thorough Examinations apply to all types of material handling equipment, including:
  • Counterbalance forklifts (electric, LPG, diesel)
  • Telehandlers and rough terrain forklifts
  • Reach trucks and man-up forklifts
  • Warehouse stackers and order pickers
  • Pallet trucks and demountable forklifts

What’s Included in a Thorough Examination?

During a forklift Thorough Examination, our certified engineers conduct an in-depth safety inspection covering:

Lifting & Load-Bearing Components

  • Forks - Capacity rating, cracks and splaying
  • Chains - Wear, elongation and corrosion
  • Mast & tilt mechanisms - Smooth movement and hydraulic condition
  • Attachments & side shift - Secure mounting and damage assessment

Control & Safety Systems

  • Brakes and steering - Responsiveness and hydraulic performance
  • Controls and operational functions - Safety interlocks and warning devices
  • Overhead guard and cab - Damage and visibility checks
  • Seatbelts and restraint systems - Secure mountings and wear inspection

Structural Integrity & Stability

  • Chassis and frame - Cracks and welding faults
  • Tyres and wheels - Tread depth and bonding failure
  • Counterweight and fastenings - Stability and corrosion checks

Hydraulic & Traction Systems

  • Hydraulic hoses and reservoirs - Leaks and pressure loss
  • Battery and exhaust systems - Secure connections and damage assessment
Regular Thorough Examinations prevent forklift failures, workplace accidents and legal non-compliance
