Overhead Guard:
Standard robust overhead guard for operator protection from falling loads.
Seat Belt:
Equipped with a seat belt for operator safety.
Operator Interface:
Basic operator interface with essential controls and instrumentation (e.g., hour meter, fuel gauge, warning lights). Advanced infotainment systems are typically not found on industrial forklifts.
Safety Monitoring:

Telematics:
Modern forklifts may offer optional telematics for fleet management, performance monitoring, and preventative maintenance scheduling. Availability depends on specific model configuration and region.
Daily Checks:
Visual inspection of tires, forks, mast, hydraulic fluid level, engine oil level, coolant, and brake operation.
Monthly Checks:
Check battery water levels (if applicable), inspect drive belts, and verify horn and lights operation.
Preventative Maintenance Schedule:
Typical intervals for oil changes, filter replacements (oil, fuel, air), and hydraulic fluid checks are every 250-500 operating hours, depending on application and operating conditions. Specific intervals detailed in the manual.
Engine Oil:
API Service Classification CD or higher; viscosity grades commonly 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on ambient temperature. Refer to manual for exact specifications and capacity.
Hydraulic Fluid:
ISO VG 32 or 46 hydraulic oil. Capacity varies by model, typically 15-25 liters. Refer to manual for precise type and capacity.
Transmission Fluid:
