4.4 Opening and closing railroad cars
An industrial truck must not be used to open or close the doors of railroad cars unless
the truck is fitted with a special device for opening and closing railroad car doors and
the operator has been trained to use this device.
When using a device to open or close railroad car doors, the truck must be moved
parallel to the railroad car and the force exerted parallel to the movement of the door.
When inserting the device to open and close railroad car doors, take care to prevent
the strong forces from damaging the doors and/or truck. The entire procedure for
opening the door must be visible to the operator. The industrial truck must always be
positioned in such a way that the person on the load platform is protected when the
locking pin in the door is removed. The operator must inform his or her supervisor or
proceed in accordance with the instructions if an unusually strong force is required to
open the door of a railroad car.
