Select appropriate attachments and tools
according to the shape and material of the
loads to be handled.

Do not lift loads by suspending ropes from
the forks or attachment, as the ropes may
slip off. If necessary, arrange for a lifting
hook or jib to be attached by someone
qualified to perform heavy lifting tasks.
–
Be careful not to let the forks touch the
floor, so as to avoid damaging the fork tips
or driving surface.

Know the load capacity of the forklift and
attachments, and never exceed it. Do not use
people as an additional counterweight.

While driving, do not use mobile phones or
other electronic products, and concentrate on
work.
15.
Keep your head, hands, arms, feet and
legs in the cab, and do not extend them for any
reason.

Pallets and skids should be strong enough
to bear the weight of the load. Never use
damaged or deformed pallets.

Hangcha can provide users with a variety
of attachments including rotating clamps, flat
clamps, side-shift forks, jibs, etc. Such
attachments are for special uses only.
Modifications
to
attachments
must
be
authorized by the manufacturer. Do not attempt

The overhead guard prevents cargo from
falling onto the operator. The load bracket
ensures the stability of loads. Do not use a
forklift without the overhead guard and load
bracket.
19.
Never permit anyone to walk or stand
under upraised forks or attachments. Do not
allow anyone to stand on the forks. If it is
unavoidable, choose a safe place and use
wooden blocks to support the forks or
attachments to prevent accidents.
