How to Handle Loads Safely

Do not lower or raise the fork when the lift truck is moving. A load should not extend above the backrest due to the danger of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Inspect for overhead obstructions and ensure there is adequate clearance before raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is raised straight up, tilt it back slightly.

While the load is raised the forklift would be less steady. Make certain that no pedestrians cross under the elevated fork. The operator should never leave the forklift while the load is raised.

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

Before unloading or loading the truck, set the brakes and chock the wheels. Floors should be strong enough to support the weight of the forklift and the load combined. Fixed jacks could be installed in order to support a semi-trailer that is not coupled to a tractor. The height of the entrance door should clear the height of the forklift by a minimum of 5 cm. Mark edges of docks, rail cars or ramps and avoid them.

If there is not proper ventilation into the forklift, do not stay in there for long 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 avoid slipping. Clear whichever obstacles from docks and dockplates and ensure surfaces are not oily or wet.

Never push or tow other vehicles making use of a forklift.
