Placing an elevated load
An elevated load requires special handling, be extra cautious. Before loading a truck or trailer, make sure its wheels
have been chocked to prevent movement during operations.
1. Approach the loading area slowly, aligning the
forklift and the load. When the load is properly
aligned set the park brake and lower the stabi-
lizers. Fig 7.
2. Raise the load high enough to clear the stack
or platform. Align the forks to the correct an-
gle and height for load placement. Extend
the mast forward slowly making adjustments
as needed, until the load is properly aligned.
Lower the load into a stable position. Fig 8.
3. Raise the stabilizers slowly. Make required ad-
justments to the forks to properly clear the load.
Check traffic release the park brake, place the
forklift into reverse, and back out slowly.
4. After clearing the load, lower the forks and
side shift the mast to center as needed.
5. Check traffic; back away slowly. Travel with
caution at all times.
