4 Industrial Truck Operation
4.1 Safety regulations for truck operation
Travel routes and work areas
Only use lanes and routes specifically designated for truck traffic. Unauthorised third
parties must stay away from work areas. Loads must only be stored in places
specially designated for this purpose.
The truck must only be operated in work areas with sufficient lighting to avoid danger
to personnel and materials. Additional equipment is necessary to operate the truck in
areas of insufficient lighting.
DANGER!
Do not exceed the permissible surface and spot load limits on the travel routes.
At blind spots get a second person to assist.
The driver must ensure that the loading ramp / bridge cannot move or come loose
during loading / unloading.
NOTE
Loads must not be deposited on travel or escape routes, in front of safety
mechanisms or operating equipment that must be accessible at all times.
Travel conduct
The driver must adapt the travel speed to local conditions. The truck must be driven
at slow speed when negotiating bends or narrow passageways, when passing
through swing doors and at blind spots. The driver must always observe an adequate
braking distance between the forklift truck and the vehicle in front and must be in
control of the truck at all times. Abrupt stopping (except in emergencies), rapid U turns
and overtaking at dangerous or blind spots are not permitted. Do not lean out or reach
beyond the working and operating area.
Hazardous situations
If the truck is about to tip over, do not loosen the seat belt. The driver must not jump
off the truck. The driver must lean his upper body over the steering wheel and hold
on with both hands. Tilt your body in the opposite direction of fall.
Travel visibility
The driver must look in the direction of travel and must always have a clear view of
the route ahead. Loads that affect visibility must be positioned at the rear of the truck.
If this is not possible, a second person must walk alongside the truck as a lookout to
observe the travel route while maintaining eye contact with the driver. Proceed only
at walking pace and with particular care. Stop the truck as soon as you lose eye
contact.
