How to Handle Loads Safely

When the lift truck is in use, do not raise or lower the forks. Loads must not extend above the backrest. This is due to the risk of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Inspect for overhead obstructions and make sure there is plenty of clearance before lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is lifted straight up, tilt it slightly back.

The lift truck is less steady when a load is in a raised position. Ensure that no body ever walks beneath the elevated fork. The operator should not leave the lift truck when the load is lifted.

The forks must be level when handling pallets, and high enough to extend all the way into and under the load. The fork's width should provide equal weight distribution.

Chock the wheels and set the brakes before unloading and loading the truck. The floors should be strong enough to support the weight of both the load and the forklift. Fixed jacks could be installed to be able to support a semi-trailer that is not coupled to a tractor. The height of the entrance door should clear the forklift height by at least 5 cm. Edges of ramps, docks and rail cars must be marked and avoid them.

Do not stay in a forklift for a long time without proper ventilation. The inside of the truck should be well lighted and free of loose objects, obstructions and trash. Check for holes in the floor. The installation of nonslip material on the floor would help prevent slipping. Clear whichever obstructions from docks and dockplates and make certain surfaces are not oily or wet.

Lift trucks must not be utilized to tow or push other forklifts.
