How to Safely Handle Loads

When the forklift is in use, do not raise or lower the forks. Loads must not extend above the backrest. This is because of the danger of the load sliding back towards the operator. Check for overhead obstructions and make certain there is adequate clearance prior to raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is raised straight up, tilt it slightly back.

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

The forks should 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.

Prior to loading or unloading the truck, set the brakes and chock the wheels. Floors need to 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 entrance door height must clear the height of the forklift by a minimum of 5 cm. Edges of rail cars, ramps and docks should be marked and avoid them.

Do not stay inside a forklift for long periods without right ventilation. The interior of the truck must be well lighted and free of obstructions, trash and loose objects. Check for holes in the floor. The installation of material which are non-slip on the floor will help avoid slipping. Clear whatever obstructions from docks and dockplates and ensure surfaces are not oily or wet.

Forklifts must not be used to push or tow other forklifts.
