When driving a loaded lift truck on a ramp, the accepted practice is to drive with the load facing uphill to maintain stability and control. This positioning helps prevent tipping and ensures better visibility for the operator. Additionally, it's crucial to drive at a safe speed, avoid sudden movements, and ensure that the ramp is in good condition to minimize hazards. Always follow your workplace's safety guidelines and training protocols.
