Take special care when securing, handling, positioning and transporting loads with
the attachments. Unladen trucks with attachments must always be operated in the
same way as partly laden trucks.
The entire load must be picked up by the load-handling equipment. The fork length
must be at least two-thirds of the length of the load. If the load needs to be tilted, be
extremely careful to ensure that the load is stable. Extreme caution must be used
when tilting high or separate loads backward.
Be extremely careful when the lift device is extended. Forward, back, and turning
motions should be reduced to an absolute minimum during travel.
Be especially careful when tilting the load forward or back, especially when stacking
at great heights. Lifted load carriers may be tilted forward only to set down the load
during stacking or to deposit load on a shelf or frame. The load must be tilted
backward until it is stabilized for stacking or depositing.
Qw W
The handling of loads suspended from a crane boom or other equipment can
induce dynamic forces, which may adversely affect the stability of the
industrial truck and may not comply with the manufacturer's requirements in
accordance with ASME B56.1-2004. Tilting the load, sudden acceleration,
braking, and turning can cause the load to swing and be dangerous.
When handling suspended loads:
– The load capacity of industrial trucks designed for transporting suspended goods
as defined by the manufacturer must not be exceeded;
– The load must be suspended vertically and must never be pulled in a horizontal
direction;
– When transporting the load, the lower edge of the load and the lift mast must be
positioned as low as possible;
– When the load is raised, the truck must be maneuvered slowly and carefully; the
operator must limit the vehicle to movements allowing the load to be lowered in the
transport position;
– Where possible, use guide ropes to prevent the load from swinging.
Transportation of liquids: When transporting liquids, the center of gravity can vary
according to the movement of the industrial truck, and this can have a very adverse
effect on the truck's stability. All necessary precautions must be taken when
maneuvering; accelerating, braking and tight corners should be avoided where
possible, as should any sudden movement.
Flattened wheels: If the industrial truck has been parked for a lengthy period of time,
the wheel treads may become flattened. This does not adversely affect the safety or
stability of the truck, however, since the flattening will disappear once the truck has
been driven for a short distance.
The owner must take alternative and / or additional safety precautions and define
special working instructions if the surroundings present a serious danger or unusual
operating conditions.
View when driving: The driver must look in the direction of travel and must always
have a clear view of the route traveled. When transporting loads that restrict the
driver's view, the truck must be driven with the load at the end of the truck. If that is
not possible, a second person must walk ahead to provide appropriate warning of any
hazard.
