How to Safely Handle Loads

Do not raise or lower the fork whilst the forklift is moving. A load should not extend over the backrest due to the possibility of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Inspect for overhead obstacles and make certain there is plenty of clearance before lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is raised straight up, tilt it back slightly.

When the load is raised the forklift would be less steady. Make sure that no pedestrians cross underneath the elevated fork. The operator must not leave the lift truck when the load is lifted.

When handling pallets, forks must be level and high enough to go into the pallet and extend all the way under the load. The fork's width must 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 combined weight of the forklift and its load. Fixed jacks can be installed in order to support a semi-trailer that is not attached to a tractor. The entrance door height should clear the height of the forklift by a minimum of 5 cm. Edges of docks, rail cars and ramps should be marked and avoid them.

Do not stay in a lift truck for long periods without proper ventilation. The inside of the truck should be well lighted and free of loose objects, obstructions and trash. Inspect for holes in the floor. The installation of material which are non-slip on the floor would help prevent slipping. Clear whichever obstructions from dockplates and docks and ensure surfaces are not oily or wet.

Never push or tow other vehicles with a forklift.
