The unsafe use of Telehandlers (telescopic materials handlers) has led to a significant number of serious accidents, leading to serious injury and even fatalities. This telehandlers safety tagging system is specifically designed to help you ensure this hazardous piece of machinery is safe for use.
Based on universally recognised safety inspection criteria, each booklet contains 25 checklists. The booklet also contains guidance notes to help when carrying out safety checks.
Once complete the top copy is torn out and inserted into the 'Universal Tagging Pod' to inform all users as to whether the equipment is safe for use. The self-generating duplicate carbon copy of each completed inspection stays in the booklet as an auditable record of all inspections. This will help you prove you have done all you can to ensure the safe operation of the machine.
Please note, the Universal Tagging Pod is sold separately - see link in related products below.

The continuing development of telehandlers (telescopic materials handlers) in terms of capacity and reach makes them a versatile piece of site equipment. Not only do these accidents have a terrible cost in terms of human suffering, they also have a significant financial cost for all concerned. Consequently there is a very strong business case for improving telehandler safe working procedures.
The effective maintenance of a telehandler is an essential part of safe operation. As with all machines a telehandler wears, deteriorates and can suffer damage over time. The maintenance process, including checks and inspections, monitors, prevents and rectifies this deterioration. Telehandlers require the manufacturer’s preventative maintenance instructions to be strictly complied with, if safety is to be maintained in use.
Checks and inspections should be carried out taking account of the frequency of use of the telehandler and the environmental conditions in which it regularly works. If the operator is considered
to be competent to carry out routine pre-use and weekly checks, they may be authorised to do so. Basic checks and inspections should be carried out in accordance with company instructions and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Our telehandler checklist systems enables a daily pre-use inspection to be carried out at the start of every shift (or day) and includes checks for damage and correct functioning of the telehandler (whilst providing a documented record of the findings). If there is a defect that affects the safe operation of the telehandler a “Do Not Use” message can be displayed in the tag, taking the machine out of service immediately whilst the issue is reported. If no issues are found during the telehandler inspection the tag should display a “Good to Go” message along with the date the check sheet was completed, thus removing any uncertainty.
