Ensuring That The Industrial Truck Is Properly Equipped - Jungheinrich ECR 327 Instrucciones De Servicio

Industrial trucks must not use elevators unless special approval has been granted.
Do not exceed the load capacity of the elevator. Drive slowly into the center of the
elevator as soon as the elevator is in a horizontal position. Move the controls into
neutral, switch off the power supply and activate the ground or wheel locks (if fitted),
as soon as the truck is in the elevator. All other people are recommended to leave
the elevator before the truck is driven in or out.
Avoid driving over loose objects, dirt or damaged ground.
When turning the truck around, reduce your speed until it is safe for the operating
environment and turn the steering mechanism gently with a circular movement. Even
at very low speeds, the steering mechanism must be turned at a moderate and steady
speed.
When driving an industrial truck onto or off of trailers not coupled to the truck,
appropriate supports must be used to prevent the trailer from tipping backward or
sideways.
Keep a safe distance from the edge of ramps, platforms, and other working areas.
Rail cars must not be moved with a powered industrial truck.
Proceed with caution to avoid making contact with service installations below the
ceiling – such as lighting, cabling, pipe systems, sprinkler systems, etc.

Ensuring that the industrial truck is properly equipped

All driver-operated industrial trucks must be fitted with an overhead guard to protect
against falling objects unless all of the conditions below are met:
1. The movement of the vertical mast is limited to 1826 mm (72 inches) above
ground, maximum;
2. The industrial truck is operated in an area in which:
– The lower edge of a stacked load during stacking is no more than 1825 mm (72
inches) and the upper edge no more than 3050 mm (120 inches) above the
ground;
– The loads are transported in the form of stable and preferably rigidly connected
elements or containers;
– Guards are in place to prevent objects from falling from adjacent high-bay
racks. An overhead guard was developed to protect the driver from falling
objects; it does not, however, offer complete protection from all conceivable
accidents. The operator should, therefore, not assume that these safety
devices remove the need for sound judgment and caution when handling loads.
3. The industrial truck must be labeled for its area of use.
An extension to the safety guard must be fitted to protect operators from the load or
from falling objects.
