4.2 Carrying
Forklift trucks are generally used for loading, unloading and short-distance transportation. They are
not designed to be a long-distance mode of transport. A forklift that needs to be transported over a
long distance should be transported in a ship, train or a truck having a load capacity over 5T.
Steps
:
–
Park the forklift on the lorry or trailer, and apply the parking brake.
–
Tie the tension belt to the mast upper beam and counterweight tow pin, and use
clamping device to strain the tension belt.
–
Block the front and rear wheel of the forklift with wedge wood.
