WEAR YOUR OPERATOR HARNESS

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

• Use your operator harness and lanyard when elevated
and working with an open side gate or with the
narrow front rail option. Read the warnings on the
harness.

• Check your harness and lanyard. Replace them if they
have ever been used to stop a fall, 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.

WARNING

Stay clear of all
moving parts.

Moving parts can
cut or crush hands,
feet, arms or legs.

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 the load handler, 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 switch.

Capacity & Load Center

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 faces of the
forks 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 placed or shifted to the front, back or side
of a pallet or container

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

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.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

The better you understand your truck and how to use
it, the better and safer operator you can be. Here are
some guides to using this manual.

QUICK LOCATORS

In addition to the "Contents" page
you can use page headings to find
topics. Some pages also have a
picture of the truck in the corner
showing features or functions
covered on that page.

"KNOW THE HAZARDS"

Watch for and read these special

blocks. You will find information
about possible safety hazards and
how to avoid them.

HOW-TO-DRAWINGS

On many pages you will find
pictures as well as text to help you
understand how to use your truck
safely and productively.

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 LANYARD

Wear your harness and attach the lanyard whenever the
operator compartment is elevated and you have a side gate
open. See chart below.

Wear your harness and lanyard at all times if your truck has a
narrow front rail option.

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.

AFTER AUGUST 2017: READING YOUR CAPACITY PLATE

Capacity may be reduced as lift height increases.

C

For example: On the sample plate, 1360kg (3000 lb)
can be lifted to 8000mm (315 in). But above 8000 (315),
to 9220 (363), capacity is reduced from 1360 (3000) to
1180 (2600).

Capacity is reduced as load center increases.

A

For example: On the sample plate, 1360kg (3000 lb) can
be lifted if the load center is 600mm (24 in). But if the
load center is increased to 865 (34), capacity is reduced
from 1360 (3000) to 955 (2100).

CAUTION:

Truck Capacity must be reduced by

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 load
you have on the forks. Make certain you use the

correct units of measure.

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.

ATTACHMENT DATA

If an attachment on your truck does not match the
information given here on your capacity plate, don't
operate your truck. Your capacity plate may be
wrong. Report the problem to your supervisor.
