How to Safely Handle Loads

Do not raise or lower the fork while the forklift is traveling. A load must not extend above the backrest due to the danger of the load sliding back toward the operator. Inspect for overhead obstacles and ensure there is adequate clearance prior to 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 if a load is in a raised position. Ensure that no body ever walks underneath the elevated fork. The operator must never leave the lift truck when the load is raised.

While handling pallets, forks should be level and high enough to go into the pallet and extend all the way below the load. The width of the forks should provide even weight distribution.

Set the brakes and chock the wheels prior to loading and unloading the truck. The floors should be strong enough to support the weight of both the load and the forklift. Fixed jacks can be installed to support a semi-trailer that is not attached to a tractor. The entrance door height must clear the forklift height by at least 5 cm. Mark edges of ramps, docks or rail cars and avoid them.

If there is not proper ventilation into the forklift, do not stay in there for extended periods. The trucks interior must have enough lighting and be obstruction free. Inspect the flooring of the forklift cab for holes. The installation of material which are non-slip on the floor would help prevent slipping. Clear any obstructions from dockplates and docks and ensure surfaces are not wet or oily.

Never push or tow other vehicles making use of a lift truck.
