DRIVING ON A ROAD SHOULDER IS STRICTLY
PROHIBITED
•
There is a danger that soft road shoulders may collapse, so
do not go near them.
•
Always maintain a safe distance from the edge of road
shoulders and platforms.
WHEN DRIVING INTO A RAILWAY CAR, TRUCK OR
CONTAINER, EXERCISE EXTRA CARE
•
Do not travel on the edge of docks. There is a danger that
the lift truck may fall, which may result in serious injury or
death.
•
Before starting operations, check the load limit for the
gangplanks, and do not use them if they do not have ample
strength to take the weight of the lift truck when loaded.
•
Apply the brakes on the truck and block the wheels before
driving the forklift into the truck.
•
When driving into trailers, use jacks and take steps to
prevent the trailer from sinking when the forklift truck travels
on it.
•
When driving the forklift inside trucks, reduce speed when
backing out and be sure to check that the gangplanks are
safe.
•
Be careful of pedestrians.
•
Tell the truck driver not to move the truck until the operation
is completed.
•
If there is some system to secure the truck to the dock,
always use this system. Secure the gangplanks so that they
do not slip and fall.
