Pickinguploads
To make sure that the load is securely sup-
ported, it must be ensured that the fork arms
are sufficiently far apart and are positioned as
far as possible under the load.
If possible, the load should rest on the back of
the fork.
The load must not protrude too far over the
fork tips, nor should the fork tips protrude too
far out from the load.
Loads must be picked up and transported as
close to the middle as possible.
If the length of the fork arms is not matched
to the depth of the load, this increases the
risk of accidents. If the fork arms are too
short, the load may fall off the arms after it
has been picked up. In addition, be aware that
the load centre of gravity may shift as a result
