Used Taylor Counterbalance Forklift Roseville

Getting Aboard the Lift truck
The 3-point dismount is among the keys to maintaining operator safety. It is the main factor for maintaining operator safety, even if this is normally ignored. Like for example, a few years ago, at a forklift rally, a contestant carried out the course perfectly at a lift truck rally. At the end of his run, he was so thrilled, that he jumped off of his machine and totally forgot to make a 3-point dismount. The judges ended up docking marks from his overall score and he failed to win the competition.

The very serious problem of mounting and dismounting the lift truck is covered in training. Having the drivers wear their seatbelts could also help save their lives in event of any tip-overs. It is truly necessary to understand that if the center of gravity of a loaded lift truck moves outside of the stability triangle then a tip-over situation can occur. Trained operators rarely ever run into a tip-over situation, although, it is very essential that they are ready for that risk in case it occurs.

Dismount/Mount
Mounting and dismounting of forklifts is important for ensuring the driver stays safe. This is also important even on low platform pallet jacks. There are way too many injuries sustained from using these machines. Several of the serious situations include: Driver's catching their coveralls or loose clothing while dismounting and could end up falling and wrenching their back. At times, the operator could sprain or break an ankle when they step off of a lift truck. The operator could accidentally break an arm when slipping and falling off of the pallet jack. The operator could suffer from torn shoulder muscles if they slip on floor debris when they are still hanging onto the handhold using one hand.

In order to keep you safe, having 3 points of contact is vital. Obtaining 3 points can be done with 1 foot and 2 hands or by 2 feet and 1 hand. This stance is exactly like climbing up or down a ladder. Remember to always face the machine. Operators normally have a tendency to hop or jump off the machine or to face away from the machine and these mistakes really reduce the overall risk being hurt.
