When two forklifts are traveling in the same direction, they should maintain a safe distance of at least three to four forklift lengths apart to ensure sufficient space for maneuvering and to prevent collisions. This distance allows for reaction time in case one forklift needs to stop or change direction. Additionally, operators should always be aware of each other's positions and communicate effectively to enhance safety.
The forklifts should maintain a safe distance from each other while traveling in the same direction to avoid collision hazards. It is recommended to use proper signals to indicate any upcoming stops or turns to ensure safe driving practices. Additionally, the forklift operators should have clear communication with each other to coordinate their movements effectively.
Forklifts traveling in the same direction should maintain a safe following distance of at least three forklift lengths apart to allow for ample room to stop safely in case of emergency. Keeping a safe distance reduces the risk of collision and allows for better visibility of obstacles or hazards on the ground.
Faulty forklifts should not be used. Thus if they are needed in use, the repairs should be made immediately.
