Checking your Fork Truck for Safety
Similar to any industrial machinery, the fork truck should be operated with some care.

Safe operation of a fork truck first includes checking the truck prior to utilizing it. Operators should check for potential dangers such as worn tires and fuel leaks. The forks, lifts as well as the overhead guard must be thoroughly inspected. The safety handle should be utilized when the forklift is being mounted.
The lights, horns and alarms should be checked to guarantee that they are working well. Gauges and monitors must be adjusted correctly. The seat should be adjusted and safety belt fastened before starting the truck.
Taking cautious turns and choosing a lower rate of speed would help the operator avoid tipping the machinery. If the load blocks the vision of the driver, the truck must be driven in reverse gear. Always be alert of the location of any obstacles and pedestrians when driving.
