KNOW YOUR LOAD

Do not exceed the capacity shown on your truck's capacity

plate.  Make certain you use the correct units of measure.

Be careful when handling long, high or wide loads. Do not

handle unstable loads.

TRUCK TYPE

Some truck types are not permitted in areas where there

are fire hazards.  Watch for marked areas.  

For example:

You must not drive a type E or ES truck into an area restricted
to EE or EX trucks.

TRUCK WEIGHT

Dockboards, elevators and some floors have limited

capacity.  Check your capacity plate for the weight of your

truck.  Remember to add the weight of the battery and the

load you have on the forks.
