LIFT EMPTY ONLY
By Forklift / Tele-handler
•Each FCP is fitted with forklift pockets which are designed to allow the
FCP to be raised by a forklift/tele-handler. The FCP can be lifted from
all 4 sides. This must be considered in your risk assessment
•It is important that the total gross weight of the FCP is not more than
half (50%) of the forklift’s maximum SWL. Ensure that the forklift’s
forks are set to the correct width for the FCP’s fork pockets

WARNING
Do not allow anyone under the raised load at any time or for
any reason.
Positioning
Where the FCP is to be permanently positioned for use (long or short term)
it is important that certain aspects are considered
•You should make sure that both supplying vehicle and receiving
vehicle have safe and easy access to the FCP
•The position should be selected where it will be protected from
accidental impact
•Consideration should be given to the location of overhead services
such as telecommunications, power cables and overhanging
obstructions. Be aware of the location of underground services, such
as drains, and manhole covers
•You must also consider the ground surface and make sure it can
support the weight of the FCP, its contents when full and any stored
equipment such as pumps, without the risk of subsidence. It should
be positioned on smooth and level ground with access available to the
rear and sides
•Allow for access that may be required by the emergency services
should it become necessary
•For emergency venting requirements, check with the local authority
