what should be used to assist the forklift operator with dropping off and picking up material
When picking up a palatalized load, the forks should be placed under the load in a way that ensures even support and stability. Ideally, the forks should be inserted fully beneath the pallet, with the load centered between them to prevent tipping. This positioning helps distribute the weight evenly and enhances safety during lifting and transport. Always ensure the forks are adjusted to the correct width for the specific load.
When picking up a load, the mast should be positioned in front of the load to ensure proper stability and control. This allows the operator to effectively tilt the mast back, securing the load against the forks and preventing it from slipping off. Additionally, positioning the mast correctly helps maintain visibility and safety while maneuvering the forklift. Always ensure the load is balanced and within the forklift's capacity for safe lifting.
When picking up a load, the correct fork spacing should be adjusted to match the width of the load being lifted. Ideally, the forks should be positioned so they are evenly spaced on either side of the load's center of gravity to ensure balanced lifting. This helps prevent tipping or shifting during transport, enhancing safety and stability. Always ensure the forks are fully inserted under the load for maximum support.

When placing a load on a stack, approach slowly and line up the forks with the load. Lower the forks to the correct height, then drive forward until the load is against the stack. When picking up a load, ensure the forks are positioned evenly under the load, lift it slowly and steadily, then back up carefully to clear the area.
