It is extremely important that all components of the lift are in good working condition. In addition to training and daily inspections, the operator plays the most important safety role. The operator is required to know the lifting capacity of the forklift, and should understand and not exceed the center of gravity. When the center of gravity is moved outside of the stability triangle, the forklift suffers loss of steering, loss of traction and instability, increasing the potential for a tip over. Careful loading of the lift needs to be addressed every time. The operator is also responsible for maintaining safe distances from edges of ramps and overhead installations such as lighting, pipes, sprinkler systems and power lines. Any time the operator leaves the forklift unattended, the forks must be fully lowered, controls neutralized, the power shut off and the brakes engaged. If the forklift is parked on an incline, the truck’s wheels must also be chocked to prevent movement. All of these tasks are critical to the safe operation of the powered industrial truck.
