Fork lift

WhatsApp Order

A forklift is a powered industrial truck used to lift, carry, and transport heavy materials over short distances, commonly used in warehouses, construction sites, manufacturing facilities, and loading docks. Equipped with two forks or prongs at the front, forklifts are designed to insert under pallets or heavy items and lift them using a hydraulic system. They come in various types, including counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, pallet jacks, and rough terrain forklifts, each tailored to specific environments and tasks. Forklifts are essential for efficient material handling, reducing manual labor, improving safety, and streamlining operations in logistics and industrial settings.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Precautions

Operator Certification and Training
o Only trained and certified personnel should operate a forklift.
o Operators must be familiar with the specific model and environment.
Pre-Operational Inspection
o Check tires, brakes, lights, horn, steering, forks, and hydraulics before each use.
o Report and address any malfunctions immediately.
Load Capacity Awareness
o Never exceed the rated load capacity of the forklift.
o Ensure the load is evenly distributed and secure before lifting.
Proper Load Handling
o Insert forks fully under the load and tilt slightly backward for stability.
o Keep the load low while moving to maintain a low center of gravity.
Safe Driving Practices
o Always wear a seatbelt when operating the forklift.
o Drive at safe speeds, especially when turning or reversing.
o Sound the horn at intersections or blind spots.
o Maintain clear visibility — use a spotter if the load obstructs your view.
Worksite Awareness
o Operate only in designated forklift zones and stay alert for pedestrians.
o Use warning lights and alarms in high-traffic areas.
o Avoid rough terrain unless using a model designed for it.
Avoiding Tip-Overs
o Never raise or lower loads while the forklift is in motion.
o Avoid sharp turns and sudden movements, especially with elevated loads.
o Do not use forklift to lift people unless using an approved platform.
Parking Safety
o Lower forks to the ground, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine when not in use.
o Do not park on inclines or obstruct walkways.
Maintenance and Repair
o Perform routine maintenance as per manufacturer guidelines.
o Use only authorized personnel for repairs and parts replacement.
o Check hydraulic fluid, fuel levels, and battery charge regularly.
