Negotiating lifts and docks
Lifts may only be entered if they have sufficient capacity, are suitable for driving on
and authorised for truck traffic by the owner. The driver must satisfy himself of the
above before entering these areas. The truck must enter lifts with the load in front and
must take up a position which does not allow it to come into contact with the walls of
the lift shaft. People travelling in the lift with the forklift truck must only enter the lift
after the truck has come to a halt and must exit the lift before the truck. The driver
must ensure that the loading ramp / bridge cannot move or come loose during loading
/ unloading.
Type of loads to be carried
The operator must make sure that the load is in a satisfactory condition. Loads must
always be positioned safely and carefully. Use suitable precautions to prevent parts
of the load from tipping or falling down. Prevent liquid loads from sloshing out.
