HAVE A GOOD VENTILATION
■
Engine-powered trucks
When the engine is run indoors such as in an
enclosed warehouse, have a fresh-air ventilation.
Exhaust fumes can cause chemical poisoning, and
in the worst case exhaust fumes can kill. When
warming up or operating the truck indoors, open the
windows and doors or use a fan to make sure there
is a good ventilation.
USE STURDY PALLET MATERIALS
■
Pallets and skids must be strong enough to
withstand the heavy weights of loading and
unloading. Remove or repair any damaged pallet.
STACK LOADS SECURELY
■
When stacking loads, place them in a stable
manner that they will not easily come apart, and be
sure the weight is evenly distributed. Secure the top
layer with a cord wrapped like a headband or in a
similar fashion.
KNOW THE WITHSTAND LOAD OF
■
YOUR FLOOR
The lift truck is heavier than it appears. For
example, a 2-ton truck weighs almost 3.5 tons
even when empty. Furthermore, when loaded, 80
to 90% of the total weight is concentrated on the
front wheels. Check the strength of your floors and
roadways, and if necessary reinforce them.
