Industrial Trucks and Attachments
WARNING: When operating and maintaining
industrial trucks equipped with attachments you
should pay particular attention to the following
information. You should be familiar with all of
these sections.
A load backrest extension shall be used whenever necessary
to minimize the possibility of the load or part of it from falling
rearward.
Traveling
The driver shall be required to slow down and sound the horn
at cross isles and other locations where vision is obstructed. If
the load being carried obstructs forward view, the driver shall be
required to travel with the load trailing.
When ascending or descending grades in excess of 10 percent,
loaded trucks shall be driven with the load upgrade.
On all grades the load and load engaging means shall be tilted
back if applicable, and raised only as far as necessary to clear
the road surface.
Loading
Only stable or safely arranged loads shall be handled. Caution
shall be exercised when handling off-center loads which cannot
be centered.
Only loads within the rated capacity of the truck shall be handled.
The long or high (including multiple-tiered) loads which may
affect capacity shall be adjusted.
Trucks equipped with attachments shall be operated as partially
loaded trucks when not handling a load.
A load engaging means shall be placed under the load as far as
possible; the mast shall be carefully tilted backward to stabilize
the load.
Extreme care shall be used when tilting the load forward or
backward, particularly when high tiering. Tilting forward with load
engaging means elevated shall be prohibited except to pick up a
load. An elevated load shall not be tilted forward except when the
load is in a deposit position over a rack or stack. When stacking
or tiering, only enough backward tilt to stabilize the load shall be
used.
Operation of the Truck
If at any time a powered industrial truck is found to be in need
of repair, defective, or in any way unsafe, the truck shall be
taken out of service until it has been restored to safe operating
condition.
Maintenance of Industrial Trucks
Any power-operated industrial truck not in safe operating
condition shall be removed from service. All repairs shall be
made by authorized personnel.
All parts of any such industrial truck requiring replacement shall
be replaced only by parts equivalent as to safety with those used
in the original design.
Industrial trucks shall not be altered so that the relative positions
of the various parts are different from what they were when
originally received from the manufacturer, nor shall they be
altered either by the addition of extra parts not provided by
the manufacturer or by the elimination of any parts. Additional
counter-weighting of fork trucks shall not be done unless
approved by the truck manufacturer.
Industrial trucks shall be examined before being placed in
service and shall not be placed in service if the examination
shows any condition adversely affecting the safety of the
vehicle. Such examinations shall be made at least daily. When
industrial trucks are used on a round-the-clock basis, they shall
be examined after each shift. Defects when found shall be
immediately reported and corrected.
General Requirement
Modifications and additions which affect capacity and safe
operation shall not be performed by the customer or user
without manufacturers prior written approval. Capacity,
operation and maintenance instruction plates, tags or decals
shall be changed accordingly.
If the truck is equipped with front-end attachments other than
factory installed attachments, the user shall request that the
truck be marked to identify the attachments and show the
appropriate weight of the truck and attachment combination at
maximum elevation with load laterally centered.
The user shall see that all nameplates and markings are in place
and maintained in a legible condition.
Safety Guards
If the type of load presents a hazard, the user shall equip fork
trucks with a vertical load backrest extension in accordance with
the following.
All new powered industrial trucks acquired and used by
an employer after February 15, 1972 shall meet the design
and construction requirements for powered industrial trucks
established in the “American National Standard for Powered
Industrial Trucks, Part II, ANSI B56.1”, except for vehicles
intended primarily for earth moving or over-the-road hauling.
Operator Training
Only trained and authorized operators shall be permitted to
operate a powered industrial truck. Methods shall be devised to
train operators in the safe operation of powered industrial trucks.
Truck Operations
Trucks shall not be driven up to anyone standing in front of a
bench or other fixed object.
No person shall be allowed to stand or pass under the elevated
portion of any truck, whether loaded or empty.
Unauthorized personnel shall not be permitted to ride on
powered industrial trucks. A safe place to ride shall be provided
where riding of trucks is authorized.
The employer shall prohibit arms or legs from being placed
between the uprights of the mast or outside the running lines of
the truck.
When a powered industrial truck is left unattended, load
engaging means shall be fully lowered, controls shall be
neutralized, power shall be shut off and brakes set. Wheels
shall be blocked if the truck is parked on an incline.
A powered industrial truck is unattended when the operator is
25 feet or more away from the vehicle which remains in his view,
or whenever the operator leaves the vehicle and it is not in his
view.
When the operator of an industrial truck is dismounted and
within 25 feet of the truck still in his view, the load engaging
means shall be fully lowered, controls neutralized and the
brakes set to prevent movement.
A safe distance shall be maintained from the edge of ramps or
platforms while on any elevated dock or platform or freight car.
Trucks shall not be used for opening or closing freight doors.
