Checking your Fork Truck for Safety
A fork truck, similar to any industrial equipment, must be utilized carefully. Not like an automobile, a fork truck is steered from the back wheel and thus has a different center of balance. Anyone working in the vicinity of a fork truck and anybody using this machine has to understand workplace safety guidelines and safe operating measures.
Safe operation of a fork truck initially includes checking the truck before utilizing it. Operators must check for potential dangers such as fluid leaks and worn tires. The forks, lifts as well as the overhead guard should be checked carefully. The safety handle must be utilized when the forklift is being mounted.
To guarantee that they are operating correctly, the alarms, lights and horns should be inspected on a regular basis whilst the monitors and gauges may need to be adjusted. The seat should be adjusted and safety belt fastened before starting the truck.
Taking careful turns and choosing a lower rate of speed will help the operator avoid tipping the equipment. If the load blocks the vision of the driver, the truck must be driven in reverse gear. Be aware of the location of any obstacles and pedestrians while driving.
The operator should always sit inside the cage enclosure and keep all parts of the body in the vehicle to avoid any chance of injury. The forks must be kept several inches above the ground when driving. Never raise or lower lifts when you are driving or the truck can become unstable. Never allow anyone to walk under lift when the engines are running.
Basic driving safety includes stopping at intersections and watching for approaching traffic. It is a good idea to sound the horn before proceeding as well as occasionally when operating within aisles. That way, you would warn any approaching person to your presence.
Operator Environment
The Spirit Delta cab gives the operator an efficient and safe place to work from. The cab design is the end result of a major analysis of operators' working conditions. The most important objective is to be able to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and large glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is gently rounded and really comfortable. This specific area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential information, in order to keep the operator working as effectively as she or he could.
Noise levels and vibration controls are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. In order to maintain an optimal working position, the operator seat and hydraulic controls are all individually adjustable. In addition, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 multi-functioned ergonomically positioned and easy to operate levers which are offered for the window washers, horn, gear changing and windscreen wipers.
A ventilation/heating unit ensure a comfortable cab temperature for the operator. The incoming air is replaced by an air filter. This is easily replaceable and the unit slides out afterwards to make serviceability an easy option. The equipment has a robust 3-speed fan for defrosting, recirculation, cooling and heating. As an extra option, air conditioning could be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units which are all within easy reach. Standard instrumentation includes: warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Additionally, gauges display values for gearbox oil pressure, engine coolant, fuel quantity and operating time.
The ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring is among the key options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These models make it easier to supervise the equipment. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS and incorporated by this system. The single warning lamp and the full text display show any errors that take place and their current values.
