Safety Tips: Ensure that your forklift is being driven correctly!

Your fork lift represents a considerable investment to your organisation.

Ensure that it is being driven correctly and you'll minimise the risk of damage and costly repairs.

Centre of Gravity...

It is important to maintain the centre of gravity of the load that you are carrying within the limits of your fork lift.

To do so, make sure your operators follow these important procedures when driving on ramps:

When driving up a ramp with a load on, be sure to drive up forwards.
When you are driving down a ramp, drive down backwards.

Overloading...

It is important to know the weight of the products you are lifting to avoid over-loading.

Generally this isn't a problem when you are constantly working with the same kind of products. However you could encounter problems when you have to lift 'general' freight.

To avoid damaging your fork lift, use a weight gauge or have a scale fitted to your machine by Active Fork Lifts.
