Know the Hazards
KNOW YOUR LOAD
Do not exceed the capacity shown on your truck's
capacity plate. Be careful when handling long, high or
wide loads. Do not handle unstable loads.
EXCEEDING TRUCK CAPACITY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT
Know the capacity of your truck as shown on your
capacity plate. Make certain you use the correct units
of measure. Pay attention to:
• Weight of load
• Load center
• Lift height
• Position of mast.
CENTER THE LOAD
Your truck could tip over if a load is shifted to the front
or side of a pallet or container. Make sure your load is
evenly distributed and centered over the forks.
HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS CAN AFFECT STABILITY
Capacities shown on your capacity plate are with the
mast vertical. Be extra careful when tilting a load. (This
also applies to other accessories or attachments your
truck may have, such as sideshift, carton clamp, push-
pull, etc.)
