2.3.7 Loading
• Approach the load carefully.
•
Adjust the height of the forks until they
can be easily inserted into the pallet.
•
Insert the forks under the load.
• If the load is shorter than the forks,
position the forks so that the front of
the load overhangs them by a few
centimeters, to avoid interference with
the load immediately ahead.
• Raise the load a few centimeters above
its support.
•
Back the truck away from the stack or
any neighbouring loads, gently and in a
straight line.
Transporting loads
Always carry loads in the forward
direction of travel (R) in order to have
the best visibility.

Carefully drive the truck to the unloading
area.
Lower the load until the fork arms are
free from the pallet.
Back the truck away in a straight line.
Raise the forks to proper height.
If the field of vision is poor, ask a guide
for assistance.
CAUTION
WARNING
Since visibility is reduced when travelling
in this direction, drive only at very slow
speed.
When carrying a load on a slope, always
ascend or descend with the load uphill.
Never drive sideways across a slope or
perform a U-turn.
