Daewoo Counterbalance Forklifts San Diego

Utilizing a Standard Counterbalance lift truck

1 Prior to using the machine, perform a pre-shift check. Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines do state that pre-shift checklists need to be performed each day or each shift. Each and every different equipment along with its attachments has its own checklist listing lights, emergency brakes, brakes, steering, horn, controls and safety features.



2 Start up the machinery and check controls. First make sure that your seatbelt is fixed firmly and the seat is securely in place and adjusted for your comfort. Look beneath the machine after you move it for any signs of leaks. The operation of every type of forklift is different.



3 The basic operation of a vehicle is basically compared to a standard vehicle. The forklift has a rear end swing of the forklift occurs since the truck steers with its rear wheels. Disregarding this detail is a major cause of injuries and accidents to employees. The almost 90-degree turn from the front wheels must be performed with utmost care. These top-heavy machines have a high center of gravity even without a load. When lifting or moving a load this top-heaviness is exacerbated.



4 Keep forks near the floor when traveling. Utilize care when approaching loads. Be certain the forks line up correctly with the pallet. Lift the load only as high as is needed, tilting it back to help stabilize the machine. Only drive backwards if the load is so big that it obstructs the vision of the operator.



5 Check the wheels on trailers/trucks before loading and unloading. Do not travel on inclines, especially when lifting a load. The machine could tip over on a slope. When driving on a slope is unavoidable, always drive up the incline and back down. The load should be kept on the uphill side of the truck.



6 The driver should be firmly in control all the time. The primary cause of operator injuries is tip-over. The driver must never try to jump out of the truck in the event of a tip-over. The safest approach is to lean away from the direction of fall while holding the steering wheel and bracing your feet.
