Safe loading and transportation

Nature of the transported loads: Only adequately secured loads may be
transported (see "Load capacity" in Chapter D).
Stable or securely picked loads (see "Order picking and stacking" in Chapter E) must
be transported in compliance with the load capacity of the industrial truck.
– Be extremely careful when transporting eccentric loads which cannot be centered.
– Only transport loads whose weight does not exceed the load capacity of the
industrial truck.
– The transportation of loads, which might exceed the load capacity, is prohibited.
– Loads must only be transported with the load-handling equipment; loads or other
items must not be transported in the cab or in other areas of the truck unless the
owner has made specific and specially identified provisions to this end.
Check the nameplate on the industrial truck, which shows the load capacity of the
truck and of the attachments, and always work within the stated load capacity range.
Take special care when positioning and transporting loads with the attachments.
Unladen trucks with attachments must always be operated in the same way as partly
laden trucks.
The entire load must be picked up by the load-handling equipment. The fork length
must be at least two-thirds of the length of the load.
Qw W
The handling of loads suspended from a crane boom or other equipment can
induce dynamic forces, which may adversely affect the stability of the
industrial truck and may not comply with the manufacturer's requirements in
accordance with ASME B56.1-2003. Sudden acceleration, braking, and
turning can cause the load to swing and be dangerous.
When handling suspended loads:
– The load capacity of industrial trucks designed for transporting suspended goods
as defined by the manufacturer must not be exceeded;
– The load must be suspended vertically and must never be pulled in a horizontal
direction;
– When transporting the load, the lower edge of the load and the lift mast must be
positioned as low as possible;
– When the load is raised, the truck must be maneuvered slowly and carefully; the
operator must limit the vehicle to movements allowing the load to be lowered in the
transport position;
– Where possible, use guide ropes to prevent the load from swinging.
Loading and unloading freight trucks and trailers: If a powered industrial truck is
driven onto freight trucks or trailers, they must be immobilized with the parking brake
and wheel chocks or other appropriate devices to prevent the freight truck or trailer
from being moved accidentally.
Loading and unloading railroad cars: When loading and unloading railroad cars,
appropriate precautions must be taken to prevent the car from being moved. Use
wheel locks, parking brakes or other appropriate devices to prevent movement during
loading and unloading.
