•
Allow load to fall forward onto platform, if possible try to control what should be a fall of a
short distance.
•
If control is completely lost, let go of handle and step back away from the device and
platform in case load comes free of hook and falls off platform
•
The above position shows extended reach and hands raised above chest height.
•
It is in this region that heavy load can become unmanageable because of the force
required to control the handles.
•
See ‘LOAD AND
REACH DAT
A’ section 4 for more details (
Beware that manageability
limit of load size and reach can be dependent on user).
•
There should be no reason to use this position because only enough reach is required to
position along beyond the edge of the platform.
•
If procedure performed properly, edge of the platform should be close to vertically in line
with the front of the wheels.
•
If wheels are too far from edge of the platform, resume
hands neutral position
and place
wheels closer to perform then perform operation again. This time requiring less reach.
If wheels were closer to the platform the
operator would require less Reach
