Page: 82 / 180

• DO NOT use a lift truck to open or close the door on a
rail cars unless the lift truck has an attachment that is
specifically designed for opening and closing rail cars
doors and the operator is trained in its use.
• Check to make sure that the brakes on the highway
trucks are set and that wheel blocks have been placed
on both sides of the rear wheels (unless a dock locking
mechanism is engaged). Fixed jacks may be necessary
to support the front and rear of a highway trucks trailer to
prevent it from moving or tipping during loading or
unloading.
• Make sure that the rail cars brakes are set and the
wheels are blocked while loading or unloading. Do this
check so that the rail cars will not move due to the move-
ment of the lift truck in and out of the rail cars.
• Check the condition of the driving surface. Make sure
the floor will support the weight of the lift truck and the
load.
• Make sure the dock board is secured, in good condition,
and of the proper capacity.
• When entering a rail cars, the operator can enter at an
angle (if the dock plate or bridge is wide enough). This
will reduce the turning required after entering.
• Never leave a parked truck on a dock plate.
