The load should always be kept low whenever the forklift is traveling.
The forks should be as close to the ground as possible.
The forks should be about 1 foot clear of the roadway when travelling.
The forks should be as close to the ground as possible.
The best way to carry the load is backwards and with the forks up. When you put the forks up, you will shift the weight of the load towards the middle.
The forklift forks should be spaced according to the load width, ensuring that they are evenly positioned to provide stability and balance when lifting. It is recommended to space the forks slightly wider than the load to ensure a secure grip and prevent tipping. Always refer to the forklift manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.
You should reverse down a steep incline (slope) when driving a forklift that has a load on the forks.
When operating a forklift with a full load while traveling up an incline, you should ensure that the load is carried as low as possible to maintain stability and prevent tipping. Keep the forks pointed slightly upward to help stabilize the load. Additionally, use a lower gear to control speed and avoid sudden movements. Always stay aware of your surroundings and ensure the incline is within safe operating limits for the forklift.
The load should always be kept low whenever the forklift is traveling.
You always keep the forks (and the load) as low to the ground as possible. This holds true for forklifts, front end loaders, etc.
When traveling on a forklift the carried load must be at the highest feasible position travel
Forks slightly tilted back, one foot above ground, be able to see ahead over the load
