Operation 5
Driving
to avoid the load from falling on the floor or the
forklift truck being damaged.
Condition of the driveways
Driveways must be made sufficiently firm,
level and free of dirt and fallen objects. Com-
pensation must be made for drainage chan-
nels, railway crossings and similar items; and
if necessary, ramps must be provided, so that
trucks can drive over them with as few bumps
as possible.
Ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity of
manhole/drain covers and the like.
There must be sufficient clearance between
the highest points of the forklift truck or the
load and the fixed points of the surroundings.
The height is based on the overall height of
the truck’s lift mast and the dimensions of the
load. Observe the technical data (see ⇒ Chap-
ter "Technical data", P. 247).
Rules for driveways and the working area
Only those routes authorised for traffic by the
operator (see ⇒ Chapter "Definition of terms
used for responsible persons", P. 20) or his
representative may be driven. The traffic
routes must be free of obstacles. The load
may only be set down and stored in the desig-
nated locations. The operator and his repre-
sentative must ensure that unauthorised third
parties keep away from the working area.
Dangerous locations
Dangerous locations on the driveways must
be designated by the signs typical for traffic or,
if necessary, by additional warning signs.
