2) ENTRY UNDER A VEHICLE:
Correct
: Position tapered portion of fork blade parallel to ground and slide the fork blade under
vehicle, keep close to front wheel for best balance of vehicle. Pick up slowly to verify stability.
Be careful to lift load slowly to be sure it is balanced properly before moving.
Unbalanced load can shift and fall off forks resulting damage to the load, wheel
loader, forklift, and injury or death to anyone nearby.
Be certain load is balanced before lifting load
.
Side handling vehicles have some risks to causing damage. Be aware of & avoid:
•Rear drive shafts extending below frame rails pose a risk to being damaged.
•Beware as truck if lifted by the frame, rear axle will drop, pulling the drive shaft
down, nearer to coming into contact with the forks and causing damage.
•Transfer cases may be exposed to contact with fork or undue tension from displaced driveshaft.
•Avoid contact with lower truck box sides, due to they are not stiff and strong like car rocker
panels, and rocker panel bumpers will damage box sides.
•Side door & rocker panel damage may result in case of impact into bumpers
