Negotiating slopes and inclines
WARNING!
Do not negotiate slopes or inclines.
Negotiating lifts and dock levellers
Lifts may only be negotiated if they have sufficient capacity, are suitable for driving on
and authorised for truck traffic by the owner. The driver must satisfy himself of the
above before entering these areas. The truck must be pushed into lifts with the load
in front and must take up a position which does not allow it to come into contact with
the walls of the lift shaft. Persons riding in the lift with the forklift truck must only enter
the lift after the truck has come to a rest and must leave the lift before the truck.
5.2
Parking the truck securely
WARNING!
An unsecured truck can cause accidents
Always park the truck on a level surface. In special cases the truck may need to be
secured with wedges.
Always fully lower the load handler.
Select a place to park where no other people are at risk of injury from the lowered
load handler.
