Travel visibility: The driver must look in the direction of travel and must always have
a clear view of the route ahead. Loads that affect visibility must be positioned at the
rear of the truck. If this is not possible, a second person must walk in front of the truck
as a lookout.
Negotiating slopes and inclines: Slopes or inclines may only be negotiated if they
are designated traffic routes, are clean and have a non-slip surface and providing
they can be safely negotiated in accordance with the technical specifications of the
truck. The truck must always be driven with the load unit facing uphill. The industrial
truck must not be turned, operated at an angle or parked on inclines or slopes.
Inclines must only be negotiated at slow speed, with the driver ready to brake at any
moment.
Negotiating lifts and docks: Lifts and docks must only be used if they have sufficient
capacity, are suitable for driving on and authorised for truck traffic by the owner. The
driver must satisfy himself of the above before entering these areas. 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. People travelling in the lift with the
forklift truck must only enter the lift after the truck has come to a halt and must exit the
lift before the truck.
Type of loads to be carried: Only transport properly secured loads.
