Surface And Capacity - UniCarriers 1F1 Operator's Manual

!
WARNING
• All types of dockboards shall have a high friction surface
designed to reduce the possibility of employees or lift trucks
slipping and shall be designed and maintained so that one
end will have a substantial contact with the dock (or loading
platform) and the other end with the transport vehicle to
prevent the dockboard from rocking or sliding.
• When lift trucks are driven on and off highway trucks or
trailers, the brakes on the highway trucks or trailers shall
be applied, and wheel chocks or other positive mechanical
means shall be used to prevent unintentional movement of
highway trucks and trailers.
• Provision shall be made to prevent railroad cars from being
moved during loading and unloading. Wheel stops, hand
brakes, or other recognized positive means shall be used to
prevent movement during loading and unloading.
• Whenever lift trucks are driven on and off semitrailers not
coupled to a tractor, supports may be needed to prevent
upending or corner dipping.
• Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, platforms,
or other similar working surfaces.
• Do not move railroad cars or trailers with a lift truck unless
the truck is properly designed and equipped for that
operation.
