Steering (Turning)
WARNING
TRAVEL SLOWLY WHEN TURN-
ING. Lift trucks can tip over even
at very slow speeds. The combi-
nation of speed and the sharpness
of a turn can cause a tipover. A lift
truck is less stable when the forks
are elevated, with or without a
load.
WARNING
IF THE LIFT TRUCK TIPS OVER, DO NOT JUMP OFF!
HOLD FIRMLY TO STEERING WHEEL, BRACE YOUR
FEET, AND LEAN FORWARD AND AWAY FROM THE
POINT OF IMPACT.
Most operators can understand the need to be careful when
handling loads. But some operators do not realize that a tip-
over can occur with an empty lift truck because similar
dynamic forces are present. In fact, the lift truck will actually
tip over easier when empty, than when loaded with the load
lowered. Mast tilt, off-center loads, and uneven ground will
aggravate these conditions and cause the forklift to become
unstable.
WARNING
Failure to observe the tail swing area when making a turn
can injure or kill someone.
A. TAIL SWING
Because lift trucks are designed to work in a relatively small
space, they can turn sharper than some other vehicles. Most
lift trucks are steered by the rear wheels and the rear of the
lift truck can move to the side very fast during a turn. This
movement is called "tail swing". An operator must be aware
of tail swing and always check to make sure the tail swing
area is clear before turning. Failure to observe the tail swing
area when making a turn can lead to injury or death.
