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.
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. It is forbidden
to lean out of or reach beyond the working and operating area.
Visibility when travelling outside the narrow aisle: 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.
Operating with a walk-on pallet: If the truck is equipped for operation with a walk-
on pallet without side gates or railing, the opeator must wear a restraint belt in
accordance with EN 361 and a harness (2.0m) in accordance with EN 355 (see
chapter 3.1).
F
It is prohibited to stop and operate racks without a base even on just one side of the
rack aisle. Keep a maximum distance of 0.2m to the rack.
M
Negotiating slopes and inclines: It is forbidden to negotiate slopes and inclines.
M
Negotiating docks: It is forbidden to negotiate docks.
Negotiating lifts: Lifts may only be negotiated 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.
Persons riding in the lift with the forklift truck must only enter the lift after the truck has
come to a rest and must leave the lift before the truck.
Type of loads to be carried: The operator must make sure that the load is in a
satisfactory condition. Do not carry loads unless they are positioned safely and
carefully. Use suitable precautions to prevent parts of the load from tipping or falling
down.
