Big Joe CB22 - Load Handling; Moving a Disabled Truck

15
Load Handling
Handle only loads arranged for
stability and always use caution.
Raise and lower the load
smoothly to prevent the load
from falling.
Always be sure the load and load
center are within the capacity of
the truck. If in doubt check the
nameplate.
1. Approach the load slowly.
2. Stop the truck when the forks are
just in front of the load.
3. Adjust the forks to the maximum
practical width to support the load
to be lifted.
4. Raise or lower the forks until they
are properly aligned with the pallet
openings.
5. Move the truck slowly into position
so that the forks are centered about
the load.
6. Make sure the load is against the
backrest and then raise the forks
until the pallet clears the rack. Tilt
the forks slightly backward.
7. Move the truck away from the rack
until the load clears the rack and
then lower the forks.
8. Lead the truck by the control han-
dle with the load trailing except
when in confined areas. Ramps
should always be traveled with
operator uphill of truck.
9. Always look in the direction of
travel. Move slowly and check
clearances when approaching
obstructions.
10. Do not make sudden starts and
stops. Operate truck smoothly and
gradually.
11. Travel slowly and squarely around
corners. Remember that the trail-
ing load wheels do not follow the
turn path of the drive wheel;
instead, they tend to cut the corner.
12. Line up the truck with the unloading
area.
13. Stop the truck and raise or lower
the forks until the pallet is in posi-
tion with the unloading area.
14. Check the load alignment with sur-
rounding objects.
15. Be careful not to damage or move
adjacent loads and objects.
16. Slowly move into position.
17. Lower the forks and tilt forward until
the load is resting on its own. Be
sure there is no downward force on
the forks on the rack or floor.
18. Move the truck back until the forks
are clear of the pallet.
19. If forks are elevated, lower to travel
position.
