carried during transport. There must not be any risk of the load
tipping or sliding off during transport. The driver of the truck has
the right and duty to refuse to carry any load that is a clear
safety hazard. Refer to the load limit plate to see the permitted
maximum load for the truck.
Responsibility for others
Operate the truck so that there is no risk of an accident. No one
may pass or stand under the raised forks, whether they are
carrying a load or not. The driver has the right and duty to see
that these directives are followed.
Maximal load
The maximum lifting capacity of the truck must not be exceeded
(refer to the fork lift truck load limit plate). Note the effect of the
centre of gravity on the lifting capacity. Check carefully if the
lifting capacity of the truck has been changed due to the
attachment of extra equipment.
Picking up a load
Always pick up a load so that it comes to rest as close to the
mast as possible.
