Negotiating narrow aisles
IMPORTANT It is forbidden for unauthorized personnel to enter narrow aisles (truck lanes
in racking systems with safety distances < 500 mm / 19.7 inch) or for
personnel to cross through them. These work areas must be marked and
identified accordingly. Carry out a daily inspection of the safety mechanisms
on the truck or the racking sysem to avoid hazards and protect personnel.
These must not be rendered ineffective, misused, adjusted or removed.
Immediately report and rectify any faulty safety devices.
NOTICE
Before entering a narrow aisle, the driver must look for people or other trucks
in the aisle. Never enter a narrow aisle where there are people or other
trucks. If there are people in the aisle, stop the truck immediately.
NOTICE
Only enter narrow aisles in trucks which are designated for this purpose. If a
narrow aisle is equipped with a non-mechanical wire guidance system, and
the guidance system is faulty or switched off, the truck may only be removed
from the narrow aisle at creep speed.
