Better Safe Than Sorry

Safety is of utmost importance, especially when it comes to handling heavy equipment like lift trucks; which is why most organizations incorporate safety training measures for their new operators. The golden rules that ensure the safety of both the operator and other employees at the distribution center or warehouse include:

Learning the operating rules for industrial trucks, including the basic lift truck principles such as load center of gravity, mast tilting, suspension and steering, stability triangle, load balance, and ramps and inclines
Knowing your equipment intimately, and reviewing and being familiar with its fueling, charging and safety aspects
Inspecting and maintaining your equipment on a daily basis
