3.5: Loading & Unloading The Truck
This section provides information on the correct way to pick up a load and set
down a load. There are a number of safety guidelines that should be adhered
to at all times when lifting or placing loads.
NEVER try to lift a load that the weight of which is not known
ALWAYS consult the capacity chary for your truck before lifting a load.
Avoid sudden and jerky movements
Adjusting the Load Forks
Forks should be spaced as far apart as the load being moved will allow. Both
forks should always be the same distance from the centre of the fork carriage.
To adjust:
Raise forks approximately 25mm (1”) off the floor.
Apply parking brake and switch off engine.
Lift up the keeper pin and slide the forks along the carriage.
When the forks are set to the desired position ensure that the keeper pin
is engaged in a slot on the top of the fork carriage bar.

platforms where possible
