WARNING

Know the Hazards

3 Protect Yourself

WEAR YOUR OPERATOR HARNESS

Falls from a platform can cause serious injury or even death.

• Use your operator harness and tether when elevated and
working with an open side gate. Read the warnings on

the harness.

• Check your harness and tether. Replace them if they
have e ver been used to stop a f all, or if damaged or worn.

LOOK WHERE YOU'RE DRIVING

• If you run into things you can be injured. You could
fall from the truck or the load could shift and hit you.
Make certain there is nothing in your path, on the floor
or sticking out of the racks.

• Always be alert to the area around you and watch where
you are driving. You could be pinned or crushed by
objects intruding or poking into the operator area.

DRIVE CAREFULLY

• Keep your hands on the controls and feet on the pedals.

Keep your entire body in the operator area. A foot or

hand caught between the truck and a fixed object will
be crushed or even cut off.

• Keep your truck under control at all times. Drive at a
speed that allows you to stop safely. Be even more
careful on slippery or uneven surfaces. Do not drive
over objects on the floor.

CHECK YOUR LOADS

Before you pivot a load, make certain it won't intrude or
poke into the operator area. Do not handle long, wide or
unstable loads. Check clearances before using traverse.

Know the Hazards

AVOID FALLS AND TIPOVERS

Tipovers are very serious accidents, you can be crushed
or even killed. The best way to prevent injury is to know
where you are at all times and follow the rules of safe
truck operation. There is no sure way to avoid injury
during a tipover or a drop from a dock.

• Be careful if driving around docks or ramps. Stay away
from the edge. Watch where you're going.

• When traveling out of the aisle, keep the forks or load
close to the ground. Watch for overhead obstructions.
Perform all truck movements smoothly and at a speed
that will give you time to react in an emergency.

• Turret Stockpickers should not be used on ramps or
grades. If you must drive on a grade, travel slowly and
don't turn. If carrying a load, point the forks upgrade.
If unloaded, point the forks downgrade.

• An unloaded truck can also tip over. Be just as careful
using an unloaded truck as you are using a loaded one.

USE YOUR TRUCK SAFELY

• Keep hands and feet away from all moving parts such
as masts or wheels. Don't sit or stand on the side gates.

• Never stand on or under the forks, or allow anyone else
to stand on or under them. Never allow passengers on
the truck. There is no safe place for them.

• Before you leave your truck:

• Come to a complete stop.

• Lower the forks to the floor.

• Shut the truck off with the key or power disconnect.

• Apply the parking brake.

Your Turret Stockpicker

TURRET STOCKPICKERS

Your turret truck is designed to transport, stack and
retrieve loads.

YOUR TURRET TRUCK IS NOT AN AUTOMOBILE

With a load it may weigh more than 6 automobiles.

• You don't steer the same.

• You don't brake the same.

• You don't accelerate the same.

HOW TO DRIVE YOUR TRUCK

Put the side gates down. Keep your hands and feet inside
the operator compartment and on the controls. Look in
the direction you're going.

WHEN TO USE THE HARNESS AND TETHER

Wear your harness and attach the tether whenever the
operator compartment is elevated and you have a side gate
open. (The harness may be either a belt or a body harness.)

GIVE YOUR BODY A BREAK

Take advantage of stop time. Flex your arms and legs.
Staying alert will help you be a better and safer driver.

current industry and government

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 vertical face of the
forks to the center of an evenly distributed load.

LOADS MUST BE CENTERED & EVENLY DISTRIBUTED

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

KNOW YOUR LOAD

Do not exceed the capacity shown on your truck's capacity
plate. Be careful when handling long, high or wide loads.
Do not handle unstable loads.

EXCEEDING TRUCK CAPACITY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT

Know the capacity of your truck as shown on your capacity
plate. Make certain you use the correct units of measure.
Pay attention to:

• Weight of load

• Load center

• Lift height

11 Capacity & Load Center

HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS CAN AFFECT STABILITY

Be careful when using operations such as traverse, extend
or pivot. Remember that anytime the forks move, the
load moves also. This can affect stability. Perform all
operations smoothly.

CENTER THE LOAD

Your truck could tip over if a load is placed or shifted to
the front, back or side of a pallet or container. Make sure
your load is evenly distributed and centered over the
forks.
