4.11 Lifting, transporting and depositing loads
WARNING!
Risk of accident when the load centre is outside the load centre distance
If the centre of gravity G of a raised load lies outside the load centre distance D
specified for the load handler in the horizontal or vertical planes, under unfavourable
conditions the raised load and also the truck can tip over while working.
u Observe load centre distances and capacities of the load handler, see page 33.
u Pick up the load so that its centre of gravity lies between the load arms of the load
handler.
u
Arrange and pick up the load so that the load centre lies within the load centre
distance of the load handler (d
1
≤ D and d
2
≤ D, see area DD in the illustration).
u Do not pick up a load with a load centre outside the load centre distance of the
load handler (d
1
> D and/or d
2
> D), as this load case has not been checked on a
truck tested according to the test guideline.

For loads with an even weight distribution, the load centre distance lies in the
geometric centre of the volume.
For rectangular loads with an even weight distribution over the entire volume the
load centre distance is in the middle, i.e. half the length, half the height and half the
width of the load.
WARNING!
Risk of accident due to unsecured and incorrectly positioned loads
Before lifting a load, the operator must make sure that it has been correctly
palletised and does not exceed the truck's rated capacity.
u
Instruct people to move out of the hazardous area of the truck. Stop using the
truck immediately if people do not vacate the hazardous area.
u
Only transport loads that have been correctly secured and positioned. Use suitable
precautions to prevent parts of the load from tipping or falling down.
u Do not transport loads other than on the authorised load handler.
u Damaged loads must not be transported.
u
If the stacked load obscures forward visibility, then you must reverse the truck.
u
Do not exceed the maximum loads specified on the capacity plate.
u Check the fork spread before lifting the load and adjust if necessary.
u Insert the forks as far as possible underneath the load.
u
Tilting the mast forward when the load handler is raised >300 mm beyond the
vertical position is permissible only in front of or above the load/rack.
