WHAT IS YOUR TRUCK CAPACITY?

Capacity is the load (including pallet or 
container) that can be lifted to a given height 
at a given load center. See the capacity plate 
on your truck. Make certain you use the 
correct units of measure.

WHAT IS LOAD CENTER?

Load center is the distance from the load 
backrest or vertical face of the fork to the 
center of an evenly distributed load.

LOADS MUST BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED

Your truck could tip over, in any direction, if 
a load is shifted to the front or side of a pallet 
or container.

AVOID FALLS AND TIPOVERS

• Stay with your truck. Don't jump from a moving or 

falling sit-down truck.

• Stay away from the edge of docks and ramps.

• Check that bridgeplates and dockboards are secure. 

Be certain that either the trailer wheels are chocked 
or the trailer is locked to the dock. Check capacities. 
Be sure your truck, with load, isn't too heavy for 
where you are driving.

• Make sure the load you are moving is stable. Spread 

forks as far as you can and center the load. Insert 
forks as far under the load as you can. Be even more 
careful with long, high or wide loads. They can be 
less stable.

• Use forward tilt only when you have the load in a 

rack, over a stack or close to the fl oor. Use minimum 
fork tilt to pick up or place a load. When lifting or 
lowering outside a rack, keep the mast vertical or 
tilted back slightly.

• When moving loads on grades or ramps, drive with 

forks pointed upgrade. Without a load, drive with 
forks downgrade. Slow down. Don't turn on grades 
or ramps. Don’t raise the mast while on a grade or 
ramp.

WHEN OPERATING OUTDOORS

• Slow down when traveling on slippery surfaces.

• Avoid traveling in areas that are fl ooded. Bumps, holes, or loose material can 

cause the truck to tip or swerve. Do not drive your truck on soft ground, or on road 
shoulders which can be soft and may collapse.

• Stay away from curbs, rails, and ditches.

• When entering buildings, check fl oor weight limits.

• Frost and water on the glass could obstruct your vision. Wait for the window 

heaters to melt frost and use the wipers to clear the glass before operating your 
truck.
