Inspecting your Fork Truck for Safety
A fork truck, like any industrial machinery, must be utilized carefully. Unlike a car, a fork truck is steered from the back wheel and therefore has a different center of balance. Anybody working within the vicinity of a fork truck and anyone utilizing this particular machinery needs to understand safe operating procedures and workplace safety guidelines.
Safe operation of a lift truck prior to using it will include a visual inspection. Fluid leaks and worn tires are potential dangers that an operator has to check. The forks, lifts and the overhead guard should be carefully checked. The safety handle should be utilized when the forklift is being mounted.
To ensure that they are operating correctly, the horns, alarms and lights must be inspected regularly whilst the guages and monitors might need to be adjusted. Safety belt should be fastened and seat adjusted prior to starting the truck.
To prevent tipping the equipment, always choose the low rate speed when driving and take turns cautiously. If the load blocks the operator's vision, the truck should be driven in reverse gear. Be alert of the location of any obstacles and pedestrians while driving.
To avoid any risk of injury, the operator must always sit in the cage enclosure and keep all the body parts inside. The forks should be kept several inches above the floor when driving. Never raise or lower lifts when you are driving or the truck might become unstable. Do not allow anyone to walk under lift when the engines are running.
Stopping at intersections and watching for approaching traffic are basics for driving safely. It is a good idea to sound the horn periodically and before proceeding when operating in aisles. That way, you would alert any approaching individual to your presence.
Operator Environment
Operators have a safe and efficient place to work from in the Spirit Delta cab. The particular design of the cab comes as a result of extensive research into the operators working conditions. The main goal is to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is extremely comfortable and gently rounded. This particular area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential information, in order to keep the operator functioning as effectively as she or he could.
Vibration levels and noise levels are kept low thanks to the insulated mounting on the chassis. In order to maintain an optimal working position, the operator seat and hydraulic controls are all individually adjustable. Additionally, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and easy to operate levers that are provided for the window washers, horn, windscreen wipers and gear changing.
To guarantee a comfortable cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit supplies incoming air which is replaced by an air filter. This is easily replaceable and the unit slides out afterwards to make serviceability an easy option. The equipment has a robust 3-speed fan for defrosting, recirculation, cooling and heating. As an extra option, air conditioning can be fitted.
Instrumentation
The instrument panel in the spirit delta cab has been logically grouped and are all accessible. The standard instruments that include: low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. In addition, gauges display values for fuel quantity, operating time, engine coolant and gearbox oil pressure.
The ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring is among the key options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These units make it easier to supervise the machinery. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS or Electronic Control System and incorporated by this system. The single warning lamp and the full text display show any faults which take place and their current values.
