Safety 3
Basic principles for safe operatio
n
If the manufacturer goes into liquidation and
the company is not taken over by another legal
person, the operating company can make
modifications to the truck.
To do so, the operating company must fulfil
the following prerequisites:
Design documents, test docu
ments and
assembly instructions asso
ciated with the
change must be archived and r
emain accessi-
ble at all times.
The capacity rating plate, decal information,
hazard warnings and the operating instruc-
tions must be checked to ensure they are
consistent with the changes and modified if
required.
The modification must be designed, checked
and implemented by a design office that
specialises in industrial trucks in accordance
with the standards and directives valid at the
time the modification is made.
Decal information with t
he following data must
be permanently affixed to
the truck so that it is
clearly visible:
– Type of modification
– Date of modification
– Name and address of th
e company imple-
menting the modificat
ion
Insurance cover on
company
premises
In many cases, compa
ny premises are
restricted public t
raffic areas.
NOTE
The business liability insurance should be
reviewed to ensure that, in the event of any
damage caused in restricted public traffic
areas, there is insurance cover for the truck in
respect of third parties.
