5.16 Picking Up, Placing, Stacking & De-stacking Loads
This section provides information on the correct way to pick up a load and set down a
load.
There are a number of safety guidelines that should be adhered to at all times when
lifting or placing loads.
Read and understand the ‘Basic Information’ and ‘Safety Information’ sections of
this manual before commencing operation.
Assess the load before lifting. Check the weight, size, load centre and security.
NEVER try to lift a load if its weight is unknown.
Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked loads.
Before picking up a load adjust the forks to ensure that they are equally spaced
about the centre line of the fork carriage and as widely spaced as possible to
take the weight of the load evenly.
Make sure the forks are fully inserted into the pallet or under the load.
Check that the forks are of sufficient length. The length should be at least two
thirds of the depth (front to back) of the load.
Forks must not protrude beyond the pallet/load.
Use suitable attachments for lifting unusual loads.
Make sure that pallets are in good condition.
