Operation of the fork-lift truck

4.1

Safety regulations applicable when operating the truck

Driving lanes and work areas: 

Only such lanes and routes that are specially

allocated for truck traffic must be used. Unauthorized persons must stay away from
work areas. Loads must only be stored at places specially provided for this purpose. 

Driving conduct: 

The travelling speed must be adapted to the prevailing local

conditions. The truck must be driven at slow speed when negotiating bends or narrow
passages, when passing through swing doors and at blind spots. The driver must
always observe an adequate braking distance between the fork-lift truck and the
vehicle in front and he must be in control of his truck at all times. Sudden stopping
(except in emergencies), rapid U-turns and overtaking at dangerous or blind spots is
not permitted. It is forbidden to lean out of or reach beyond the working and operating
area.

Visibility: 

The driver must look in the direction of travel and must always have a clear

view of the route ahead. When loads blocking the view are carried, the fork-lift truck
must be driven with the load at the rear. If this is not possible, a second person must
walk in front of the fork-lift truck to give suitable warnings.

Negotiating slopes and inclines: 

Negotiating of slopes and inclines is permitted

only, when they are recognized lanes, when they are clean and non-slipping, and
when the technical specification of the truck permits safe driving on such slopes or
inclines. Loads must always be carried at that end of the truck facing uphill. U-turns,
cutting obliquely over slopes or inclines and parking of the fork-lift truck on slopes or
inclines is not permitted. Inclines must only be negotiated at slow speed with the
driver ready to brake at any moment.

Use of lifts and driving on loading platforms: 

Lifts and loading platforms must only

be used, if they are of adequate load bearing capacity, if suitable for driving on, and
if authorized by the user of the truck for truck traffic. The fork-lift truck driver has to
satisfy himself accordingly before driving into lifts or on to loading platforms. The truck
must enter lifts with the load in front and must take up a position which does not allow
it to come into contact with the walls of the lift shaft. Persons riding in the lift together
with the fork-lift truck must only enter the lift after the fork-lift truck has come safely to
a standstill, and must leave the lift before the fork-lift truck.

Nature of the loads carried: 

Only loads that have been safely and correctly secured

must be carried. Never transport loads stacked higher than the top of the fork
carriage, or stacked higher than the guard grille.

Towing trailers: 

The maximum trailer load given for the fork-lift truck for braked and/

or unbraked trailers must not be exceeded. The trailer load must be properly secured
and must not exceed the dimensions permitted for the driving routes. After attaching
the trailer but before starting driving, the driver must check that the trailer attachment
is secured against detachment. Towing fork-lift trucks must be operated in such a
manner that safe driving and braking of the truck and the trailer is guaranteed for all
driving movements.
