The stack should be approached squarely and carefully and the load, (or forks), should be around about 15 cm, (6 ins), away from the stack. This is to discourage pedestrians from walking through the gap.
...aaand when all was said and done, the lad was praised for such an exemplary job. EXCEPT: He forgot to lower the forks to the ground flat when he was finished. Somebody will be walking past trip on the raised forks and have a possible serious injury. Always park with the forks completely down on the ground.
These actions are great when training someone. Ounce thier in a fast paced job all that doing it by da book goes out the window. The stopping dead b4 you rack nope. Raise and line up at same time. Safe never charges though. Be fast bur Safe.
It would be safer not to have the forks tilted back, but rather flat when driving with no load, and parking the forks should be on the floor this reduces chance of injury and tripping hazards
@@Statimtek tell me you dont drive a forklift without telling me, the entire point is so if you hit someones limbs it will hit their shin which will hurt a lot but will regrow stronger. whereas if you hit the ankles which is what happes when its flat and low that will never recover and they will never be able to walk again.
@@Clawingr why would you be hitting pedestrians at all??? Shows you don’t know what you are talking about. Keeping the forks low is a basic safety strategy and damaging loads.
This is a 'how to get sacked for being too slow' video in the real world. Also at the end your tynes were too high as it was above the centrepoint of your front tyres.
@@youngblood7648 Well here legally, you cannot operate the hydraulics while the forklift is in motion, so neutral gear handbrake engaged. This is a godawful rule and as a forklift assessor I can tell you we all hate it and so do most inspectors. I only tell my learners to do it for the prac test only if an inspector is present because that means I am getting audited. But no it is not necessary. You just put your foot down on the clutch-brake/inching pedal and rev the engine so power converts to the hydraulics with the transmission disengaged. It doesn't matter if gear is forward or reverse it won't go anywhere as you rev. But for new people I always say start slow and wait until you get the feel for it all.
speed aint everything. ive witness 2 water pipe accidents in 5 years. tons of damaged racks that is no longer safe to put loads on. Damage material. a lot of money lost from that. There will always be mistakes when you are going fast. I 1000% guarantee you that.
