Used Taylor Counterbalance Forklift Thousand Oaks

Getting Aboard the Lift truck
Amongst the keys to keeping operators safe is the 3-point dismount. Even though this is usually overlooked, it is a key factor in keeping operator's safe. For instance, a few years ago, at a forklift rally, a contestant perfectly executed the course at a lift truck rally. At the end of his run, he was so thrilled, that he jumped off of his machine and completely 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 really serious issue of mounting and dismounting the forklift is included in training. Having the operators wear their seatbelts could also help save their lives in case of any tip-overs. It is really necessary to know that if a loaded lift truck's center of gravity moves outside of the stability triangle then a tip-over situation could happen. Skilled drivers rarely ever run into a tip-over situation, although, it is extremely vital that they are ready for that possibility in case it occurs.

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

Having 3 points of contact is vital when mounting or dismounting a forklift so as to keep you safe. The 3 points could be obtained by 2 hands and 1 foot or by 2 feet and 1 hand. This stance is exactly like climbing up or down a ladder. Don't forget to always face the machine. Operators usually have a tendency to jump or hop off the machinery or to face away from the machine and these mistakes greatly reduce the overall possibility being injured.
