Forklift Brake Inspection It is important the brake pedal does not fall to the floor and has enough resistance to create a safe stopping distance. The parking brake should also hold a 15 percent grade. Forklift brakes can average 5,000 - 7,000 hours during their lifetime. This range of hours is affected by the driving patterns in the warehouse. For example, if an operator drives longer distances without obstacles or stacking loads, the brakes will incur less usage. Companies can be proactive with regular maintenance. At every 250 hours, the brake dust should be blown out. A more extensive inspection should be completed at 2,000 hours with technician expertise; the brake drums can be pulled for inspection. The most common reasons for early forklift brake failure include:
Riding with a foot on the brake
Forgetting to release the parking brake
Aggressively braking by not allowing time to slow the forklift
Damage to the hub seals or wheel cylinders, which cover brake shoes and drums with oil
