Used Daewoo Counterbalance Forklifts Berkeley

Using a Standard Counterbalance lift truck
1 Prior to using the machine, perform a pre-shift inspection. OSHA guidelines do state that pre-shift checklists have to be performed every day or every shift. Each different machine as well as its attachments has its own checklist listing lights, emergency brakes, brakes, steering, controls, horn and safety features.

2 When starting up the equipment and check the controls, it is important to make sure that the seatbelt is fastened and the seat has been adjusted for your maximum comfort. Look beneath the equipment after you move it for any indications of leaks. The operation of each type of lift truck is different.

3 The basic operation of a machine is really compared to a standard vehicle. The lift truck has a rear end swing of the lift truck happens because the truck steers using its rear wheels. Disregarding this information is a major cause of accidents and injuries to employees. The almost 90-degree turn from the front wheels must be made with great care. These top-heavy machines have a high center of gravity even without a load. When transporting or lifting a load this top-heaviness is exacerbated.

4 Keep forks close to the ground when traveling. Utilize care when approaching loads. Be certain the forks line up properly with the pallet. Lift the load only as high as is required, tilting it back to help stabilize the machine. Drive backwards only if the load is very bulky that it obstructs driver vision.

5 Before unloading and loading, check the wheels on trailers/trucks. When lifting a load, it is not advised to travel on inclines. The machine is susceptible to tip-overs on an incline. When driving on an incline is unavoidable, always drive up the incline and back down. The load must be kept on the uphill side of the truck.

6 The driver must be definitely in control all the time. The primary cause of operator injuries is tip-over. The driver must never try to jump out of the truck in case of a tip-over. The safest method is to lean away from the direction of fall while gripping the steering wheel and bracing your feet.
