Insert the forks fully into the pallet/load.
The load is now ready to be lifted as usual.
Setting down an undercut load:
After transporting the pallet/load, lower it onto on the ground.
Reposition the forks the required distance back from the load. The forks must be
inserted by at least two thirds the depth of the pallet/load.
Gradually lift the load just enough to check that it is stable.
If the load is unstable lower it back onto the ground and report the problem to the
relevant supervisor.
If the load is stable proceed to stack it in the usual fashion. See ‘Stacking Long
& Palletised Loads’.
Picking up a Load
Manoeuvre the truck so that the forks are aligned centrally with the load and
approximately 50mm (2˝) from the front of the load.
Use the 4-Way drive to get the truck into position if necessary.
Apply the park brake and select neutral.
Level the forks then adjust the space between the forks (see section 5.16 on
page 65) to suit the load.
Use tilt to level the forks then adjust the height of the forks to enable them to
enter the load without fouling.
Select forward drive.
Drive forward slowly until the front face of the forks gently touch the load.
Undercut the load if necessary.
Lift the load 100mm (4˝)off the ground and tilt the mast back to secure the load.
Placing a Load
Manoeuvre the truck so that the load is as close to the placing area as possible.
Use the 4-Way drive to get the truck into position if necessary.
Apply the park brake and select neutral.
Level the load using the tilt function.
Gently lower the load onto the placing surface.
Position the forks to clear the load without fouling on withdrawal.
Select reverse and check that the area behind the truck is clear.
Reverse the truck slowly whilst looking in the direction of travel. Make occasional
checks and any necessary adjustments to prevent the forks from fouling on
withdrawal.
Stop when the forks are clear of the load.
Tilt the mast back and raise/lower the forks to 100mm (4˝) off the ground.
