In every warehouse and logistics facility across the UAE, safety is the first priority. Efficient material handling begins with well-maintained machines and trained operators who perform daily inspections before work starts. At Al Shirawi Enterprises, the authorized distributor of STILL forklift and warehouse equipment, safety and reliability go hand in hand.
Known for innovation, technology, and dependability, STILL warehouse forklifts are designed for productivity, precision, and performance. But to keep them operating safely, every operator must conduct simple daily checks that ensure smooth operation and prevent unexpected downtime.Here are ten essential STILL forklift safety checks every operator in the UAE should perform before beginning their shift.
Before operating any electric forklift, the power system must be checked for full charge, secure connections, and signs of wear. STILL’s advanced electric forklifts are built for efficiency, and a well-maintained battery ensures reliable performance throughout the day.
Operators should verify the charging level and ensure that cables and plugs are securely attached before use.
Every warehouse forklift relies on solid traction for safe movement across warehouse floors. Check the tyres for visible damage, embedded debris, or reduced tread depth. In the UAE’s demanding industrial environments, regular tyre inspection ensures safety and stability during loading and lifting operations.

The forks and mast handle the heaviest loads in a STILL forklift. Check for cracks, bends, or other visible damage before starting work. Proper inspection guarantees that the pallet truck or pallet mover can safely lift and transport goods across warehouse spaces without risk.
Responsive brakes and accurate steering are critical for operator safety. During the daily inspection, test both the service and parking brakes. Check the steering wheel for smooth rotation. STILL forklifts are engineered with advanced control systems, and keeping these components in top condition ensures precise handling of warehouse machines.
Hydraulic leaks or low oil levels can affect lifting performance. Examine hoses, fittings, and cylinders for signs of leaks or damage. A quick visual inspection each day prevents breakdowns and helps maintain the consistent lifting power STILL forklifts are known for.
Check that all front, rear, and warning lights are functioning properly. Safety indicators, horns, and alarms should be operational before entering the warehouse floor. This is especially important for forklift rental fleets and facilities with multiple warehouse forklifts operating simultaneously.
Ensure that load capacity and safety labels on the forklift are clean, visible, and accurate. STILL machines are designed for precise lifting performance, and exceeding capacity limits can lead to equipment damage or injury. Always operate within the rated load limits as specified on the equipment plate.
Safety begins with the operator’s comfort and control. Check that the seatbelt functions properly, mirrors are adjusted, and the cabin area is free from obstruction. STILL’s ergonomic warehouse machines ensure comfort during long shifts, and a secure working position enhances safety.
Inspect oil, coolant, and hydraulic fluid levels to ensure that everything is within the recommended range. Regularly checking for leaks helps prevent downtime and keeps your forklift running efficiently throughout the day.
After completing all visual checks, start the STILL forklift and test it at low speed. Listen for unusual noises, monitor control responses, and verify that the lifting, lowering, and tilting mechanisms operate smoothly. This final step confirms that your warehouse forklift is ready for the day’s work.
