DO NOt
use a faulty or damaged pallet truck.
Before using the pallet truck, all parts and working mechanisms
should be checked for wear or damage. Pay particular attention to
the wheels, handle, fork lifting and lowering mechanism. Any
parts found to be worn, damaged or suspect should be repaired
or replaced before the truck is used.
All repairs must be carried out by an authorised sealey service

under the forks or load.
DO NOt
allow others to ride on the pallet truck.

lift or move unstable or loosely stacked loads.
take special care when moving long, high or wide loads in order
not to dislodge the load by striking any architectural features,
permanent fixtures, vehicles or people in the area of operation.
Always ensure that the load is evenly distributed across the forks
with the centre of the load being at the halfway point of the length
of the forks.
DO NOt
overload the pallet truck - refer to the specification for
maximum permitted load.
If a load is left unattended or if not in use even for a very short
period of time it should be lowered to the ground.
ensure that the width and length of the forks is correct for the
pallet to be lifted.
ensure that the pallet truck is sufficiently inserted into the pallet to
lift the full depth of the pallet.
use the pallet truck on level, flat, hard surfaces.
the operator of the pallet truck must be physically capable of
controlling the load selected; particularly in relation to stopping a
rolling load.
When the pallet truck is not in use, lower the forks and park it
where it will not be a hazard.
the pallet truck is designed for indoor use +5°c and +40°c.
