Application
Load placement
Taking up load
– Approach the load with caution and with as
much precision as possible.
– Lower the fork arms so that they can easily
be inserted into the pallet.
– Slowly insert the forks at the centre of the
load to be lifted.
CAUTION
Insert the fork without bumping into either the
shelving or the load.
– Insert the forks as far as possible below
the load. If possible, the forks should be
inserted far enough in that the load is resting
against the fork carriage. The load centre of
gravity must be centred between the forks.
DANGER
Pay attention to the part of the forks protruding from
the load to be lifted.
Do not strike the wall, the shelving or other loads
and/or objects behind the load to be picked up.
– Lift the load a few centimetres from the
ground and read the "Transporting loads"
section.

Transporting a load
As a general rule, loads must be transported
one by one (e.g. pallets). Transporting several
loads at once is only authorised:
• If the safety requirements are met.
• On the orders of the supervisor in charge.
The operator must ensure that the load is
properly packaged. The operator can only
move loads that have been properly packaged
and are safe and secure.
WARNING
The load must be at a height that does not obstruct
the driver's view of the front, otherwise drive with
the load trailing. If this is not possible, work with a
guide walking beside the truck. In this case, drive
the truck only at walking speed and with the utmost
caution. Stop the truck immediately if you lose
contact with the guide.
DANGER
Lower or raise the load until there is sufficient
ground clearance.
Do not allow the load, the pallets or the container to
trail along the floor.
