Operating a Forklift Safely
{"Image DocumentName": "Operating a Forklift Safely", "Image ImageDescription": "Keep arms and legs inside the truck. Handle only stable loads. Keep speed low - you may have to stop. Be careful when making sharp turns. with a raised load. If a load blocks your view, travel in reverse. No riders, unless there\u2019s an approved seat. Don\u2019t drive with forks raised. Wear safety belts or other restraint devices. When transporting loads, never raise the load more than 8 inches from the ground. Keep your load tilted back. Take time to adjust the forks on your lift to fit the load you will be carrying. Adjusting the forks outward for wide loads, helps you to center the load, and make it more stable. When driving an empty truck, travel in reverse up an incline, and forward down an incline. The center of gravity for the truck is above the front drive wheels. If you are driving a loaded truck, travel forward up an incline, and backward down an incline. NEVER turn while driving up or down a ramp or incline. NEVER drive across a ramp or incline. Because lift trucks are built narrow, the center of gravity can quickly shift outside the stability triangle, causing the truck to tip over.
