Driving on loading bridges
DANGER
Risk of accident from the truck crashing!
Steering movements can cause the rear of the truck
to veer off the loading bridge towards the edge. This
may cause the truck to crash.
For three-wheel trucks, the useable area of the load-
ing bridge must be enclosed so that the rear drive
wheel does not fall through.
The lorry driver and the forklift truck driver must
agree on the departure time of the lorry.
– Establish the departure time of the lorry.
– Determine the total actual weight of the truck.
– Before driving over a loading bridge, observe the
company directive for the loading bridge.
– Make sure that the loading bridge is properly at-
tached and secured and has a sufficient load ca-
pacity (e.g. lorry, bridge).
– Ensure that the lorry onto which you will be driving
is secured to prevent it from shifting and that it
can support the load of the truck.
Determining the total actual weight
– Park the truck securely.
– Determine the unit weights by reading the
truck nameplate and, if necessary, the
nameplate on the attachment (variant)
and/or by weighing the load to be lifted.
– Add together the determined unit weights to
obtain the total actual weight of the truck:
Net weight (1)
+ Max. permissible battery weight (2)
+ Ballast weight (variant) (3)
+ Net weight of attachment (variant)
+ Weight of the load to be lifted
+ 100 kg allowance for driver
= Total actual weight
– Drive slowly and carefully on the loading
bridge.
