Governor's Foot Guard was created in 1771.
One foot high.
1 foot above ground.
Keep forks 1 foot above ground and do not speed.
they should be about 1 foot above road surface.
Forklift Trucks should be dismounted in reverse, maintaining 3 points of contact with the truck at all times: 1 Hand on the grab handle (or the overhead guard) 1 Hand on the seatback 1 Foot on the footwell This reduces the risk of slips and potentially quite serious injury. Never use the steering wheel as a handhold while mounting or dismounting as it can damage the hydraulic steering pump.
To calculate the center of gravity of a forklift, you need the weight distribution data provided by the manufacturer. Typically, the center of gravity is located at the midpoint of the wheelbase and at 60% of the forklift's total height from the floor to the overhead guard. It is crucial to have accurate measurements to ensure safe operation and stability.
Vertical clearances are a factor in the position of the overhead guard on a forklift. The overhead guard is a protective structure designed to prevent objects from falling on the operator. Proper vertical clearances ensure that the overhead guard can effectively shield the operator from potential hazards, such as falling debris or objects during operation. It is crucial to maintain adequate vertical clearances to ensure the safety and functionality of the forklift.
The forks should be 1 foot above ground
The forklift truck is driven by the forklift driver. Forklift driver must have forklift truck licence.
