INSPECTION/TRANSPORTING THE LIFT TRUCK

■ TRANSPORTING THE LIFT TRUCK
Use a level, hard road surface when loading the truck onto or
unloading from a trailer and when unloading it. Be certain that the
ramps have sufficient length and width as well as strength. Do not
load or unload the truck when it is raining, unless the ramps are
fitted with an anti-slipping surfaces.
It is safest to use a self-loading trailer truck equipped with a jack
and winch. For loading, tilt the pallet with the jack, attach the
winch to the towing pin of the lift truck, and pull it up. The operator
must not ride on the lift truck during loading or unloading.
