Cases Involving Lift Trucks
| What kind of accident is about to happen? |
|
A tree stump has been suspended with a single strap from one of the forks on a forklift. The worker who is hauling the stump to a processing site is trying to turn right onto a road. Can you predict what's about to happen? |
|
| Look what happened! |
|
When the driver tried to turn the steering wheel with the tree suspended from the fork, the tires slipped off the edge of the path, and the forklift lost its balance and fell over. |
|
| Tips for preventing similar accidents | |
| 1. | When moving a tree stump, use a pallet and place the stump in the center of the pallet. |
| 2. | If a load must be moved using a hanging rope or belt, use the specified attachment for the forklift or other piece of machinery. |
| 3. | When carrying hanging loads, carry them as low to the ground as possible. |
| 4. | Check for uneven areas in the ground or pathways around the work site in advance. When driving, reduce speed and carefully turn equipment so that hanging loads do not swing unnecessarily. |
