Highway Trucks, Rail Cars, and Docks
WARNING
Maintain a safe distance from the
edge of docks, ramps, platforms
and other similar working surfaces.
Watch the “tail swing.” Remember
when traveling in the forward direc-
tion and the steering wheel is
turned to move the lift truck away
from the edge of the dock, the rear
will swing toward the edge. This
action can cause the lift truck to fall
off the dock.
IF THE LIFT TRUCK FALLS OFF
THE DOCK, DO NOT JUMP OFF! HOLD FIRMLY TO
STEERING WHEEL, BRACE YOUR FEET, AND LEAN
FORWARD AND AWAY FROM THE POINT OF IMPACT.
Before operating in a highway truck or rail car, observe the
following:
•
DO NOT use a lift truck to move a rail car.
•
DO NOT use a lift truck to open or close the door on a rail
car unless the lift truck has an attachment that is specifi-
cally designed for opening and closing rail car doors and
the operator is trained in its use.
•
Check to make sure that the brakes on the highway truck
are set and that wheel blocks have been placed on both
sides of the rear wheels (unless a dock locking mechanism
is engaged). Fixed jacks may be necessary to support the
front and rear of a highway truck trailer to prevent it from
moving or tipping during loading or unloading.
•
Make sure that the rail car brakes are set and the wheels
are blocked while loading or unloading. Do this check so
