The forks should be as close to the ground as possible.
The forks should be about 1 foot clear of the roadway when travelling.
they should be about 1 foot above road surface.
When driving a forklift, the forks should typically be kept at a height of 4 to 6 inches above the ground to ensure stability and safety while moving. This height allows for better visibility and control, reducing the risk of tipping or striking obstacles. Additionally, it helps prevent potential damage to the load and the forklift itself. Always adjust the height based on the specific environment and load conditions.
The extended height when forks are at top.
It means total height when platform is raised.
Your forks should be as close to the ground as possible when carrying a load to ensure stability and minimize the risk of tipping. When not carrying a load, your forks should be raised to the height recommended by the manufacturer to prevent damage to the forks and improve visibility.
That means the top of the mast when platform is max up.
Free lift is the ability to raise the forks without the mast height increasing. This is beneficial for trucks working in containers or other areas with restricted height as they can stack and destack loads within the height of their mast. Good luck, Alba Forklift Training
Travel slowly in reverse
When approaching a doorway with a forklift, it's essential to be aware of the mast height and the overall width of the forklift, including any attachments. Ensure that the mast can clear the doorway's height and that the forklift can fit through without hitting the sides. Additionally, consider the load's height and width, as this may affect maneuverability and clearance. Always allow extra space for safe navigation and potential adjustments.
It's the distance from the highest point of the truck to the floor when the forks are fully lowered.
