Used Caterpillar Rough Terrain Forklifts Roseville

Rough Terrain Forklift Safety
Designed for construction sites, where materials must be moved on surfaces which are not paved are rough terrain forklifts. The proper and safe use of rough terrain forklifts is important to ensure the wellbeing of both the driver and other employees at the work site.

Terrain
These trucks are built for rough terrain, but care should still be taken in order to prevent tip overs. The forklift is top heavy and when lifting, should just be operated on level ground.

Speed
Even though there are no Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations governing forklift speed restrictions, forklift drivers should drive at a safe speed every time. Driving on terrain that is uneven or rough needs even more caution. Steering, particularly, could be very risky at faster speeds.

Incline
If you are operating on a slope, you should keep the load on the machine's uphill side. The rule of thumb is drive up, and back down. Never attempt to lift a load while operating on a sloped surface. The change in the center of gravity can cause the equipment to tip over.

Safety Devices
Operators of forklifts must always put on seat belts like any driver. Check that the overhead guard is securely in place. Depending upon the working surroundings, eye and hearing protection might need to be worn. Check that a functioning fire extinguisher is mounted on the forklift.

Weather
The operating conditions of a forklift could be affected by climate. Speed, turning and load handling may need to be adjusted to ensure safety when operating a forklift in ice, rain or snow.
