<span style="font-size: x-large;">You Call George! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">800-660-5241</span><br />
<br />
For the last 25 years, George has been helping people maintain their <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Forklifts.html">forklift</a> equipment and maximize their fleet utilization. George started as a field mechanic working on lifts, so he understands how they work and what they need in maintenance to get the most out of your forklift. He has worked for several forklift dealers including Caterpillar and Clark.<br />
<br />
When you ask George what makes working with him different than working with others his response is that he focuses on building relationships. In other words, he is more interested in the long term results of his efforts than just making the sale. <br />
<br />
There are many avenues you can travel as a forklift user when it comes to <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Service.html">forklift service</a> and <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Service.html">maintenance</a>. Some of these are quite simple and some are complex. This is where George really feels he earns his money from his customers. Unlike smaller service companies that may not have the personnel or resources, George uses the many resources available to him at <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/">Hyundai Forklift of Southern California</a> to investigate and present to his customers multiple ideas on how to handle their forklift maintenance and <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Service.html">repair</a> needs. We don't do it our way, we offer you a number of solutions so that you can decide what works best for you. If you were to ask George's customers why they do business with him, most would say it is because he is resourceful, professional, polite and efficient.<br />
<br />
On a personel note, George is a retired U.S Army veteran of the 2nd Armored Division. George is married to his wife Sonia and together they have a active and growing family.Hyundai Forklift of Southern Californiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14196658885160981747noreply@blogger.com29tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821127222254603037.post-36960822218082648812012-01-13T12:17:00.000-08:002012-01-13T12:17:45.658-08:00Forklift Rentals Orange County - Rental Industry Going Through Some Changes<a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Rentals.html">Rental</a> buinsess giant Untied Rentals and RSC are joining forces as outlined in the following article<br />

The continued realization that the use of cell phones is distracting and unsafe makes news this week. Althought this unsafe practice is becoming more common in the workplace and with forklift operators, this article covers over the road truck divers<br />
<br />
The U.S. Department of Transportation announced a new final rule that specifically prohibits interstate truck drivers from using handheld cell phones while operating their vehicles. The joint rule from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is the latest action by DOT to discourage distracted driving by all operators of commercial motor vehicles. <br />
<br />
In September 2010, FMCSA issued a regulation banning text messaging while operating a commercial truck or bus and PHMSA followed with a companion regulation in February 2011, banning texting by intrastate hazardous materials drivers. The use of hands-free technology is still allowed under the new rule, however. Also, the rule does not prohibit the use of CB or two-way radios.<br />
<br />
The final rule prohibits commercial drivers in interstate commerce from using a hand-held mobile telephone while operating a commercial truck. Drivers who violate the restriction will face federal civil Advertisement <br />
<br />
penalties of up to $2,750 for each offense and disqualification from operating a commercial motor vehicle for multiple offenses. Additionally, for drivers in interstate or intrastate commerce, states will suspend a driver’s commercial driver’s license (CDL) after two or more serious traffic violations.<br />
<br />
In addition, intrastate CMV drivers would be subject to the disqualification regulations if your state or local laws have prohibitions against using handheld mobile phone devices.<br />
<br />
The text of the final rule was published in the <a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-12-02/pdf/2011-30749.pdf">December 2 Federal Register</a> (76 Federal Register 75470), and the rule will take effect on January 3, 2012.<br />
Other elements of the rule include the following:<br />
<br />
FMCSA agreed that drivers should be allowed to “reach for” a hands-free mobile phone device “provided the device is within the driver’s reach while he or she is in the normal seated position, with the seat belt fastened…a mobile device may be used if the driver can “initiate, answer or terminate a call by touching a single button…” <br />
<br />
The final rule does not restrict mobile phone use “when the driver has moved the vehicle to the side of, or off, a highway and has halted in a location where the vehicle can safely remain stationary.” <br />
<br />
The rule requires employers to “ensure” compliance. FMCSA did not accept the argument of several commenters that employer sanctions are inappropriate where an employer has a policy banning handheld phone use already in place. Employers may be subject to civil penalties up to $11,000. <br />
<br />
The rule provides for disqualification of interstate commercial drivers convicted of using a handheld mobile telephone, and inter- or intrastate CDL holders convicted of two or more serious traffic violations of state or local laws or ordinances that restrict the use of handheld mobile devices. States will have three years to impose these new disqualifications under state law. <br />
<br />
The final rule provides an exception allowing drivers to use their handheld mobile telephones if necessary to communicate with law enforcement officials or other emergency services.<br />

Two generous tax breaks small-business owners received during the recession are going to shrink dramatically in 2012. That makes year-end tax planning more important than usual.<br />
<br />
The changes affect the deductions for purchases of equipment, such as a <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/">forklift</a>. One is called the Section 179 deduction, named for a provision of the Internal Revenue Code. The other is called bonus depreciation. Congress approved the breaks to make it easier for small businesses to expand and hire workers. Although the economy is still slow, the breaks are being scaled back.<br />
<br />
Ed Smith, a tax partner at the accounting and consulting firm BDO in Boston, says he's talking with clients about whether it makes sense to buy equipment before the changes take effect. <br />
"Understand that we're not going to have this deduction in the next couple of years," he said.<br />
The Section 179 deduction allows a small business to deduct upfront rather than depreciate the cost of equipment, such as computers, vehicles, machines in manufacturing, office furniture and sheds. <br />
The deduction for 2011 is $500,000. In 2012, it will drop to $125,000. And in 2013, it's expected to fall to $25,000 — the amount it was back in 2002.<br />
Bonus depreciation allows small businesses to take a deduction for equipment expenses beyond the amount allowed under Section 179. For 2011, the bonus depreciation is 100 percent. The maximum that can be deducted under the two deductions combined is $2 million. In 2012, bonus depreciation drops to 50 percent.<br />
Under normal depreciation rules, the cost of equipment is deducted over a number of years according to a formula set by the IRS. So the Section 179 and bonus depreciation provisions have given small businesses accelerated tax savings.<br />
You can learn more about the deductions in IRS Publication 946, "How to Depreciate Property." It goes into detail about the deductions and the regulations that govern how they can be taken. For example, the Section 179 deduction can't be used for your new heating and air conditioning unit. But that equipment can be depreciated.<br />
It's also a good idea to discuss your plans with an accountant or tax attorney.<br />
Changes in the tax law shouldn't be the biggest reason for buying equipment. Deductions aren't worth it if you're wasting your money on something your business doesn't need. But if you've been debating whether to buy a <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Forklifts.html">forklift</a> or install manufacturing equipment in 2011 or in 2012, it might make sense to move the purchase into this year. If you can get a better price than you would next year, that's another reason to buy now.<br />
A big caveat: The <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=14074823256651060857&hl=en">forklift</a> has to be delivered by Dec. 31. You can't order a new server or drill press this year, have it delivered in January and still take the deduction. You have to be able to use it — which means it needs to be installed — by the end of the year. However, it's OK if you don't pay for the equipment until next year, or if you're going to take several years to pay it off.<br />
Something else to think about is whether you want to take advantage of these deductions now. You're not required to use Section 179 and bonus depreciation. In fact, you need to elect to take a Section 179 deduction when you file IRS Form 4562, "Depreciation and Amortization." <br />
Depending on what your profits look like this year, and what they're likely to be in the coming years, you might prefer to use regular depreciation. So you might want to postpone your purchase until next year.<br />
Smith says the money owners will save on their taxes from Section 179 and bonus depreciation can help them pay for the equipment they've bought. But using these deductions will eliminate any tax savings you would have had from depreciating equipment over time. Smith points out that when equipment is depreciated under regular rules, the tax savings from that can be used to cover principal payments if the equipment was financed. And the interest on financing is deductible.<br />
Again, it's a good idea to consult a tax professional to decide which approach makes the most sense for your business.<br />

The load carrying capacity of a forklift is indicated on the capacity data plate or name plate and should be found affixed to the forklift in a prominent location in view of the operator. <strong>OSHA safety regulations</strong> state that a forklift must have a legible capacity plate. This data plate will indicate the maximum lifting capacity of the machine to the full extension height of the mast and a specified load center for a given configuration. If the forklift configuration or the load characteristics have changed since the data plate was issued, if the data plate is unreadable, or if there are special new load handling conditions, a capacity plate should be changed or added to reflect the relevant forklift, attachment and load conditions. This is extremely important because a warehouse manager and a trained forklift operator will first look to this data plate and rely on this information for the maximum load that can be safely handled with the machine.<br />
<br />
There are a multitude of factors that affect the lifting capacity of a forklift and these parameters, which are indicated on the capacity data plate, include:<br />
<br />
1.Make or Manufacturer<br />
2.Model<br />
3.Power Source<br />
4.Battery Weight (for electrics)<br />
5.Tire Type<br />
6.Tire Size<br />
7.Mast Lift Height<br />
8.Mast Carriage Type<br />
9.Attachment(s) Type<br />
10.Attachment(s) model<br />
11.Load Center of Gravity (CG or LC)<br />
<br />
If any of these parameters are changed, particularly the attachments on the forklift carriage or the load center, the capacity plate should be checked for accuracy to ensure safe load handling.<br />
<br />
<strong>Forklift Attachments Change the Capacity of the Lift Truck</strong><br />
<br />
A forklift attachment includes anything that is attached to the front carriage of a forklift or is attached to an attachment on the forklift. A typical forklift attachment configuration might include a hang-on side shifter and two forks. In this case, if the forks are removed and longer forks are added, the capacity of the machine could be drastically reduced. Or if the forklift is used to pick up a fork mounted attachment, such as a drum handler or fork extensions, then a capacity data plate must be changed or added to reflect the new configuration. <u><strong>OSHA safety regulations</strong> state that a forklift must have a legible capacity plate to reflect any attachment used on the lift</u>.<br />
<br />
<strong>Capacity Decreases the Higher the Forklift Lifts</strong><br />
<br />
Lift height or maximum fork height (MFH) has a significant effect on a forklift’s load carrying capacity, and forklifts with high masts will have a greater carrying capacity at lower lift heights than at the maximum lift height. For this reason forklifts with very high masts may have a dual capacity rating on the data plate; a maximum capacity up to a mid level lift height, and a lower capacity rating at the maximum lift height. This allows the forklift operator to work with heavier loads at low heights, i.e. loading and unloading trucks, cross-docking, etc., while using the same forklift to put away lighter loads to high storage locations.<br />
<br />
<strong>If the Length of the Load is Longer, Lifting Capacity is Reduced</strong><br />
<br />
Because a forklift is using leverage to lift a load, any condition that adds weight to the front of the forklift and causes the load center (LC or CG) of the load to be moved further away from the forklift will contribute to a reduction in the residual carrying capacity of the machine. Attachments can cause these reductions, as well as the dimensions of the load and the load handling conditions. Load center typically refers to the horizontal distance to the load CG and is typically half the length of the load for symmetrical objects. To illustrate how attachments and load CG’s can affect residual carrying capacity, consider for example that a particular forklift with only forks on the carriage is rated at 5,000 lb capacity @ 24” load center on the data plate. This forklift will only be rated at 1,270 lb when equipped with a particular 8 foot long fork mounted jib boom because the boom adds weight and moves the load center out to 96 inches. In this case the forklift may employ a dual load center capacity rating on the capacity plate indicating a greater lifting capacity (2,750 lb) at a 4 foot load center and a lower capacity (1,270 lb) at the 8 foot load center.<br />
<br />
<strong>Load Center also Effects Carrying Capacity</strong><br />
<br />
Small changes in load center can also greatly affect the carrying capacity. Consider the capacity of the same 5,000 lb forklift with 48” forks and rated at a 24” load center, drops to 3,660 lbs when 72” fork extensions are employed to lift a 6 foot long load.<br />
<br />
<strong>Where to Check Your Lift Capacity</strong><br />
<br />
The main thing to consider is that every forklift has a legible capacity plate that accurately reflects the attachment configuration being used at the correct load center for the load being lifted and contact Professional Forklift Engineering Services at <a href="http://www.forkliftcapacitycalculator.com/">http://www.forkliftcapacitycalculator.com/</a> to check your lift capacity and get a professional engineering (PE) certified capacity rating plate on your forklift today.<br />

Do you have gas pains? The pains that come from handling gas for your forklift. Unlike the man in this picture, handling gas can be a real problem for most people. Unless you are a professional, it is highly recommended you not try this at home or at work or anywhere else on this planet.</div>

The solution to these issues is a forklift that runs on propane. You can purchase your forklift already outfitted with a propane fuel system or have your gasoline powered <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Service.html">forklift retrofitted.</a> Any forklift that can run on gasoline can also run on propane. </div>

LPG is liquefied petroleum gas commonly known as propane, a combustible hydrocarbon based fuel. It comes from the refining of crude oil and natural gas. At normal pressure and temperatures above -44F Propane remains in it's gaseous form. At lower temperatures and/or higher pressures propane will become a liquid. Propane is colorless and odorless. For safety reasons, propane is required <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: KO;">to be distinctly </span>odorized so that the presence of gas in air is easily detectable. This is achieved by adding 1.0 lbs of ethyl mercaptan, or 1.0 lbs of thiophane, or 1.4 lbs of amyl mercaptan per 10,000 of liquefied petroleum gas. There are currently three grades of propane available, HD5 for internal combustion engines, commercial propane and commercial propane butane mix for other uses.</div>

How does a <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Forklifts.html"><strong>propane forklift</strong></a> system work? A typical LPG system is illustrated to the right. The fuel is transported in an 8 lbs fuel tank. Fuel tanks are removable from the forklift and can be filled on site or at an LPG retailer. In this system, liquid fuel exits the storage tank by a tube mounted inside the supply tank. The tube is configured so that it is immersed in the liquid fuel at all times. The fuel then is routed to the first regulator. This regulator reduces pressure to 4 to 15 psi. The liquid fuel exits the regulator as half vapor and half liquid. The vapor and liquid combination then is heated, causing it to become all vapor. The second regulator reduces the pressure of the gas to atmospheric pressure. The gas then enters a carburetor or mixing valve and then enters the engine cylinders.</div>

There are a lot of parts on a forklift. Take a look at the picture to the right. There are also a lot of <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Forklifts.html">forklifts</a> that need parts. There have been at least a hundred forklift manufacturers over time and together they have produced several hundred different forklift models. <br />
<br />
Do you need a tire, a hydraulic pump, an o-ring, engine components, etc..? You can buy new <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/forklift-parts.html">forklift parts</a>, aftermarket forklift parts, used forklift parts or rebuilt forklift parts. There are so many factors you need to know to find the right parts for your forklift. So how do you source the right parts to repair your forklift? <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>You call Carl!</strong> </span><br />

<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
This is Carl. Carl is the Parts Department Manager at <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/">Hyundai Forklift of Southern California</a>. For over twenty years, Carl has been researching and cultivating supplier relationships in an effort to better service his clientele. Carl has vendors that provide new parts. He has vendors that can rebuild parts. He even has vendors that can make new parts to match your broken parts. </div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
When discussing with Carl what he feels he offers of value to his customers, Carl says that during the twenty years he has been in the parts business, he has made all the mistakes so you don't have to. Carl feels that he has come to learn how critical patience and respect are in providing his customers with the best service possible. He likes to help his customers identify the correct part for their situation. Carl says he remembers helping one customer who called up asking for a fan blade. After a lengthy discussion trying to identify the proper part for his customer, he realized that what the customer was really looking for was an aircraft propeller for his airplane.</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Most of Carl's regular customers will tell you that Carl is a hard-working person who listens to his customers and always gets back to them promptly. These are traits they value greatly. When asked why people should call him about forklift parts, Carl responds, "because I do this every day and they may only do it once in a while." He continues, "I know where to find the best <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/forklift-parts.html">forklift parts</a> and find them quickly. But most importantly, I know where to find the best deals so that I can save my customers money." So, why bother trying this yourself? Call Carl!</div>

Is this what it takes for you to make repairs to your forklift? Do your employees have to stand up and say they won’t take it anymore? They won't drive your unsafe forklifts. If this is your situation, then I hope you are heavily insured because eventually, someone is going to get hurt.<br />
<br />
It is an everyday occurrence for us to run into people who refuse to make the necessary repairs to their <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/">forklifts</a> because they don’t want to spend the money. Just yesterday, one of our service reps visited a customer that had a tire that had completely delaminated off the hub and his employees were still operating the lift. How many of you are driving forklifts into trailers or containers and your forklift has no lights. Does your <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/">forklift</a> have brakes that won’t hold or stop your forklift unless you press really hard? These are some of the more common safety issues that are put off because of cost cuts.<br />
<br />
Have you been putting off changing the oil and oil filter on your <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/">forklift</a>? When is the last time you greased your forklift. Have you cleaned out the radiator on your forklift recently? If you have answered no to any of these questions and your main reason is that you are trying to save money, then I can assure that though you may save in the short term, you will end up paying more down the road when you forklift needs a major overhaul.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.hyundaiforklftsocal.com/Service.html">Forklift maintenance</a> and employee safety should not be looked at as an expense. It really is insurance against having to forgo a long term loss of valuable assets in both your employees and your equipment. The photo to the right is of Denver Bronco Rookie Quarterback Tim Tebow. He has become well know for donning this position after a big play to reflect on his accomplishments. Don’t find yourself having to do one of these poses just because your forklift is still running and your employees are safe at the end of the day. <br />
We can help you review and assess your situation. Then we can help you figure out what you need to keep your employees safe and your equipment running, at a reasonable cost. Pay now instead of paying more later!<br />

In preparing to write this post, I saw some pictures that said, "Happy Veterans Day". To me, this seemed very odd because I am not happy that men and woman have had to give their time and in some cases their lives to protect and defend our rights and freedoms here in our wonderful country. I am thankful thought to those have have bravely taken on this responsibility. I am thankful for the veterans that now wear the uniform of our company, an opportunity only made possible by these and many other veterans.</div>

Thank you!</div>Hyundai Forklift of Southern Californiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14196658885160981747noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821127222254603037.post-46644984226161188892011-11-03T11:23:00.000-07:002012-01-08T14:07:26.814-08:00Has your forklift maintenance been like the Kardashian marriage?<div style="border: currentColor;">
Has your <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Service.html">forklift maintenance</a> been like the Kardashian marriage? Did you get lots of hype and attention and then only 72 days of bliss? Does your maintenance company only care about the money and publicity and not about you? It doesn’t have to be that way. Your relationship with your <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Service.html">forklift maintenance company</a> needs to be like a marriage. It should be a two way process where each side contributes to and cares about the longevity and success of your equipment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT0tZrxbm_1d601ny83JdmsABPtQtbl83T8HItMoiemYCWFOMRQQ7ivMGuHHXf3Nu5SK8onMwDgOGb4YWeODUCV8rJgLRz1lTou7r49D6FcKoJV-CAFcm89flYZJIdAlrLebMPUmkJ2-I/s1600/Kim-Kardashians-Three-Wedding-Looks-Revealed.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" ida="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT0tZrxbm_1d601ny83JdmsABPtQtbl83T8HItMoiemYCWFOMRQQ7ivMGuHHXf3Nu5SK8onMwDgOGb4YWeODUCV8rJgLRz1lTou7r49D6FcKoJV-CAFcm89flYZJIdAlrLebMPUmkJ2-I/s400/Kim-Kardashians-Three-Wedding-Looks-Revealed.png" width="280" /></a></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br />
First of all, your maintenance program needs to be honest and complete. You don’t want to be cheated on and only get partial maintenance done on your equipment, so ask your maintenance provider to review their maintenance program with you. Make sure that their program is customized to match your specific equipment, your environment, and your work habits. A good maintenance program not only includes a complete oil change and lubrication but also a thorough inspection and cleaning of your forklift.<br />
<br /> </div>
Secondly, is your <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/">maintenance company</a> keeping track of your forklift’s characteristics, its history and important anniversaries? If Kris Humphries had paid attention, he would have known that Kim Kardashian was not going to move to Minnesota and be a stay at home mom. Same goes with your forklift. Your maintenance company should know what your forklift’s needs and its maintenance anniversaries. The technicians should arrive fully prepared to make the most out of the time they spend doing maintenance on your lift.<br />
<br /><br />
Third, a maintenance company should take the necessary steps to protect you. They should provide competent and trained personnel to do your forklift maintenance. Their employees should be properly insured with Work Comp insurance so that if their employee is injured on your property, you won’t be liable in any way. They should also take responsibility for any damage or accidents that may happen as a result of their work. You need to make sure that your <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Service.html">forklift maintenance company</a> carries an appropriate liability insurance policy to keep you protected.<br />
<br />
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<a href="http://info.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/check-out-our-fall-service-special/?utm_campaign=Fall-Service-Specail" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="188" ida="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0EDzpnZzZJJ-3pcnS4BiNAjkqpkd8q0YAtUWQnt_nPTyflEYaPM6gSWlESxHLJ4mGljV81yB4MnbQcBikM03Z389-VHHsXFiQ3uofARfGHhne90j0wXlhTyITwfAqaB5kEFvHIJ1q_FM/s200/SERVICE-SPECIAL.png" width="200" /></a>Of course, as in marriage, this is a partnership and you have responsibilities too. You are responsible for clearly communicating to your partner how your forklift is running and any issues you are having or may have observed. Without clear communication, your maintenance partner has no way of knowing if they are doing a good job or if you are satisfied as a customer.</div>
<br />
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Finally, you need to make sure that you properly compensate your forklift maintenance company. Any good marriage requires that each side makes equal contribution to the relationship. To keep the relationship healthy for the long-term, you can’t expect to get more from your partner than you are providing in return. </div>

Created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a powerful agency within the Department of Labor charged with ensuring safe and healthful working conditions for American workers. OSHA sets and enforces standards for workplace safety and provides training, outreach, education and expertise to employers and other groups.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<br />
OSHA's broad jurisdiction is over private sector workplaces, federal agencies, maritime employers such as shipyards, military facilities, and other workplaces nationwide. The agency recently released data on the most common types of safety infractions in 2010, providing a snapshot of the types of cost-cutting and ignorance that can lead to injuries and fatalities. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>The Top Ten OSHA Violations</u></strong><br />
OSHA's regulations cover a range of hazards that could lead to serious construction injuries and other jobsite accidents. These were the ten most frequently cited violations;<br />
<ul>
<li>Scaffolding: OSHA's general requirements for scaffolding mandate specific weight requirements, use of counterweights, connections to roofs and floors and other factors to keep workers safe when working high above sidewalks and other surfaces.</li>
<li>Fall protection: Guardrails, safe walking surfaces, safety nets and harnesses must be employed under certain conditions to prevent injuries from falls.</li>
<li>Hazard communication: Workers must be informed of chemical hazards via container labeling, material safety data sheets and employee training.</li>
<li>Respiratory protection: Employers must provide appropriate respirators and prevent atmospheric contamination to guard against occupational diseases caused by harmful dust, gases, smoke and vapors.</li>
<li>Ladders: Portable and fixed ladders must meet strict guidelines regarding weight-bearing capacity, space between rungs and surface materials.</li>
<li>Lockout/tagout: Machines and equipment that require servicing and maintenance must be guarded by procedures and tags that prevent accidental startup.</li>
<li>Electrical wiring methods: All wiring conduits must be grounded or bonded to ensure electrical continuity and prevent severe shock or electrocution.</li>
<li>Industrial trucks: Forklifts, tractors, platform lifts, motorized hand trucks, and other specialized equipment must meet design requirements for fire protection, design and maintenance.</li>
<li>General electrical requirements: Electric equipment must be free of recognized hazards based on strength and durability, connection space, electrical insulation, heating and arcing effects, and other factors.</li>
<li>Machine guarding: Operators and other employees in the area must be protected using appropriate barriers and electronic safety devices to avoid nip points, rotating parts, flying chips and sparks.</li>

Forklift safety, something that employers need to be concerned about on a daily basis, is not always the easiest thing to convey to your employees. It is peoples general nature to not believe something bad can happen to them until it is to late. So as employers, you need to find ways to impress upon your employees why safety is critical to you and to them.</div>

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. This video attempts to illustrate forklift tipping issues.</div>

I found this video on youtube and thought it might be useful to share with your employees as part of your efforts to continually educate them and keep the work place safe. I find the model in the picture that the narrator uses to explain the balance issues with a forklift to be particularly easy to understand and to realize the limitations of a forklift.</div>

Remember, OSHA requires that you train and certify your employees every three years or when either you have and incident or change venues or equipment.

An October 5 Nikkei Report article reported that the two companies are currently negotiating an operating and capital alliance between their forklift businesses. </div>
<br />
Nissan spokesman Mitsuru Yonekawa tells Forkliftaction.com News articles mentioning Hitachi Construction’s impending acquisition of Nissan Forklift Co are "incorrect and speculative". <br />
<br />
Hitachi Construction, which owns forklift manufacturer TCM Corp, turned TCM into a wholly-owned subsidiary in December 2009 (Forkliftaction.com News #427). The parent company absorbed the wheel loader operations in April 2010, leaving TCM to focus on forklifts. Nikkei Report says TCM was ranked fourth, with an 8.4% market share, in Japan last year. <br />
<br />
Nissan Forklift Co is fifth, according to Nikkei Report, with a 6.8% share of the domestic market. Together, the two forklift businesses would have 15.2% of the Japanese forklift market, closing in on third-placed Komatsu Ltd. <br />

Regularly scheduled, this process will inspect the inner details of your equipment to make sure they are operating properly and not on the edge of failure. Proper lubrication and cleaning of your forklift can identify issues with your equipment that neither you or your operators are aware of. You may have hoses that are worn and ready to leak or explode. You may have bearings that are worn and ready to fail. Dirty radiators can result in overheating and unusual engine wear. Worn tires can result in uneven travel of the forklift and could increase the possibility of tipping. Brakes need not only to be function checked, but they need to have a detailed visual inspection on some regular schedule.</div>

One of the most simple but probably least understood processes in a preventative maintenance program is the cleaning of your lift truck. The number one cause of forklift downtime is dirt and debris. A preventive maintenance program is only as good as the cleaning your fork lift receives. Make sure that your provider is taking the time to clean your lift thoroughly including, but not limited to, blowing out the radiator with compressed air, wiping down the hydraulic cylinders, and replacing dirty filters with clean ones.</div>

</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
</div>
<br />
So you can see that it is not only important to have a safety program that includes daily inspections, both visual and functional checks of the forklift (see the checklist example to the right), but also a more regular maintenance and inspection by a qualified forklift technician. <br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are times in the warehouse and freight industries when the workload suddenly increases exponentially. The month before the holidays is a good example of this. Anyone who has ever worked in the shipping industry knows that this time is by far the busiest of the year and lots of temporary employees and equipment are needed to handle it. Renting a forklift during this time can make the work much easier to handle. A good forklift designed for indoor warehouse use can easily perform tasks that would take several people hours to do on their own.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">How do you respond swiftly to changes in your operating environment or meet urgent requests from your customers? Our </span><a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/forklift_rentals.html"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Short-term Rental plan</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> provides the answer, as it gives you the flexibility to quickly adjust the size of your core fleet. Alternatively, Short-term rental can provide you with a forklift truck in order to meet a specific need for a specific period of time</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is important that the operators of rental forklifts are <a href="http://www.hyundaiforkliftsocal.com/Training.html"><span style="font-family: inherit;">properly trained and certified</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. It may be tempting for many people to try to use a forklift without being properly trained, but incorrect or unsafe use of a forklift can result in injury, death, or the destruction of machinery.
