Transporting a Load
Follow these guidelines when you transport a load:
• Do not speed.
• Use your horn to warn others of danger.
• Make sure the load is seated firmly against the fork
backrest.
• Tilt the mast back.
• Lower the load to recommended traveling position
before moving the load to another location.
• Be alert to overhead obstructions such as low
doorways, racking and pipes. Make sure you know
the raised and lowered heights of the mast.
• Make sure the load is not wider than the width of the
gangways or aisles, especially if you are backing a
bulky load down an incline.
Traveling on Inclines
DANGER
When you travel up or down an incline, follow these
guidelines:
• Make sure the gradient is 5% or less with a loaded
Bendi B40i4 forklift and 8% or less if you are not
carrying a load.
• Always keep the load pointed uphill. See
Figure 4-18. Travel with the forks facing uphill
whether you are going up or down an incline. You
must then back down an incline when you are
carrying a load. If vision is obscured, arrange for a
‘Banksman’ to guide you.
• If you are not carrying a load, travel with the forks
facing uphill when you are going up the incline and
face the forks downhill when you are traveling down
an incline. See Figure 4-19.
• Raise the forks as necessary to avoid damaging the
forks or load as the road surface changes grade at
the top or bottom of an incline. Lower the forks to 4
in. to 6 in. off the ground when you clear the incline.
