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 point loading on the travel lanes.
At blind spots get a second person to assist.
The driver must ensure that the loading dock /dock leveller cannot be removed or
come loose during loading/unloading.
Travel conduct
The operator 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 operator 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.
