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 special-
ly designated for this purpose.
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 con-
trol 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.
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 in front of the truck as a lookout.
Negotiating slopes and inclines
Negotiating slopes or inclines is only permitted if they are specifically designed as
travel routes, are clean and have a non-slip surface and providing they can be safely
travelled along in accordance with the truck's technical specifications. The truck must
always be driven with the load unit facing uphill. The industrial truck must not be
turned, operated at an angle or parked on inclines or slopes. Inclines must only be
negotiated at slow speed, with the driver ready to brake at any moment.
Negotiating lifts and docks
Lifts may only be entered if they have sufficient capacity, are suitable for driving on
and authorised for truck traffic by the owner. The driver must satisfy himself of the
above before entering these areas. The truck must enter lifts with the load in front and
must take up a position which does not allow it to come into contact with the walls of
the lift shaft.
People travelling in the lift with the forklift truck must only enter the lift after the truck
has come to a halt and must exit the lift before the truck.
Type of loads to be carried
The operator must make sure that the load is in a satisfactory condition. Loads must
always be positioned safely and carefully. Use suitable precautions to prevent parts
of the load from tipping or falling down.
Crash protection
The driver must not leave the operator position in a raised position. Do not climb onto
parts of the building or other trucks and do not climb over safety devices such as rail-
ings or gates. If Euro pallets are stored lengthways it may not be possible to reach
items from the operator platform without the use of aids. The proprietor must provide
the operators with suitable tools to pick the items without putting them at risk.
