FORKLIFT SAFETY GUIDELINES- SAFETY CHECKLIST

 

Forklift loading ramps have gained immense popularity over the last few decades owing to their pioneering properties of customization and ease of assembling. However, it's essential to keep in mind that be it in an industrial manufacturing unit, a warehouse, or a docking yard, safety must never be compromised. At Nation ramp, forklift loading ramps and other portable loading ramps are safety tested and are hence popular choices at various portable loading docks in the USA. To ensure that the forklift loading ramp you've chosen for yourself is safe, keep the following in mind!

 

Where do I begin with my safety check?

The main focus point in forklift safety includes:

●       Precaution when lowering and lifting loads

●       Precaution when dealing with propane tanks

●       Being wary of other hazards

 

Safety check while driving a forklift on-ramp

Alertness is a forklift driver's biggest safety arsenal. While entering, exiting, or loading, the driver must be very cautious. Two significant hazards which drivers are exposed to:

●       Forklift tip-overs

●       Dropping the load by mistake

 

So here's a few safety guidelines that Nation ramp always prescribes to its forklift ramp drivers!

 

●       Avoid sharp turns on ramps

●       Only move on those angles as prescribed by the manufacturer of the same

●       Turn before getting on the ramp

●       Keep the wheels aligned

●       Watch out for ice and water leakages
