How to Handle Loads Safely

Do not lower or raise the fork while the lift truck is traveling. A load must not extend above the backrest due to the possibility of the load sliding back toward the operator. Inspect for overhead obstructions and ensure there is adequate clearance before lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is raised straight up, tilt it back slightly.

When the load is raised the forklift would be less steady. Make certain that no pedestrians cross underneath the elevated fork. The operator must never leave the forklift while the load is lifted.

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

Chock the wheels and set the brakes before unloading and loading the truck. The floors must be strong enough to support the weight of both the forklift and its load. Fixed jacks can be installed in order to support a semi-trailer which is not coupled to a tractor. The height of the entrance door must clear the height of the forklift by a minimum of 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 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 nonslip material on the floor would help prevent slipping. Clear whichever obstacles from dockplates and docks and ensure surfaces are not oily or wet.

Never push or tow other vehicles with a forklift.
