What are the precautions for driving a forklift?

Before using a forklift to transport goods, you must know the weight of the goods, and also pay attention that the weight of the goods must not exceed the rated lifting capacity of the forklift. At the same time, when lifting the packaged goods, observe whether the goods are tightly wrapped. Before using the forks, you need to adjust the fork spacing according to the size of the goods, so that the goods are evenly distributed between the two forks to avoid partial load.

And when the fork is inserted into the pile, the shelf should be tilted forward. After the cargo is loaded into the fork, the mast should be tilted backwards to make the cargo close to the fork wall, and the cargo should be as low as possible before driving. Only in this way can it be safer when transporting goods, and the speed can be guaranteed at the same time.

The above is the eight prohibitions on forklift operations and the precautions for driving the forklift. At the same time, be careful not to drive the car without closing the door or wearing a seat belt, and do not drive with poor safety equipment.
