Why Pre-Delivery Inspection Matters

At Tailift, every forklift delivery is more than a transaction—it represents our commitment to safety, reliability, and professional quality. With over 50 years of forklift manufacturing expertise, we have earned recognition not only as a trusted supplier but also as a global Tailift OEM/ODM forklifts manufacturer.

To ensure that each customer receives equipment that meets the highest standards, we have developed a comprehensive pre-delivery inspection (PDI) checklist. This step-by-step process guarantees zero defects, zero concerns, and maximum confidence from the very first day of operation.

Tailift’s Complete Pre-Delivery Inspection Checklist

Step 1 – Model and Specification Verification

The first step is confirming that the forklift model and specifications precisely match the customer’s order. This avoids operational disruptions caused by incorrect shipments.

Step 2 – Exterior and Structural Integrity

Visual checks ensure both appearance and long-term durability. Key items include:

• Scratches, dents, or surface defects
• Welding and paint quality
• Overall structural condition

Such details not only protect the forklift’s professional presentation but also safeguard warranty rights.

Step 3 – Tire Condition and Functional Testing

Reliable performance begins with safety. Tailift recommends checking:

• Tires: tread depth, cracks, or unusual wear
• Core functions: lifting, tilting, steering performance
• Sound test: ensuring no abnormal noises during operation

These proactive checks minimize downtime and potential hazards.

Step 4 – Battery and Safety Performance

For electric forklifts, batteries are the operational heart. Tailift verifies:

• Accuracy of battery charge display
• Charger performance and stability
• Short-distance test drive to confirm braking and safety features

By prioritizing energy systems, we deliver forklifts ready for sustainable and continuous use.

Step 5 – Documentation and Warranty Assurance

Every Tailift forklift is delivered with complete documentation for smooth ownership:

• User manual
• Warranty card
• Certificate of conformity

This ensures hassle-free maintenance and long-term service support.

Our Philosophy – Quality First, Safety Always

As a leader in Tailift Forklift Solutions, we follow one principle: “Quality First, Safety Always.” Each inspection step is designed to provide customers with confidence, knowing that their forklift is engineered for durability, efficiency, and safety.
