Safety Precautions for Telescopic Forks Usage

Telescopic forks are a critical load-bearing component of forklifts, commonly used in various applications. Let's explore the safety precautions for using forklifts.

When using forklifts, the thickness and length of the forks should be approximately equal. Once properly mounted on the fork, the upper part of the fork should remain on the same plane. We must strictly adhere to operating rules, prohibiting overloading or long-distance loading and unloading: particularly supervise and exercise extra caution when handling items that are too long or with an indeterminate center of gravity.

When using a fork, the distance between the prongs should match the width of the load. The fork should be inserted as deeply as possible under the load, with the small box tilting backward to stabilize the load, preventing it from sliding after loading.

When the load is reduced, the gantry beam can tilt forward to safely lower the cargo and withdraw the fork. During operation, the fork should be as low as possible, about 30-40 mm above the ground, and the beam should be appropriately...

When driving, do not randomly lift or lower the fork when tilting backward.
