Radiant Institute Of Fire And Safety

What are the top forklift operating mistakes?

The top forklift operating mistakes include:

1. Speeding and reckless driving: Taking turns too quickly or making sudden stops, which can cause loss of stability and potential tip-overs.
2. Traveling with elevated loads: Driving with the forks raised, which destabilizes the machine.
3. Overloading the forklift: Exceeding the load capacity, leading to rear-wheel lift or "tail-wagging."
4. Neglecting pedestrian and surrounding safety: Failing to use the horn at blind corners, crossing in front of pedestrians, or not checking rear-view corners.
5. Improper load handling: Failing to lift the load with the mast tilted back or trying to push/pull loads with the fork tips.
6. Unsafe reversing: Driving backwards while looking at mirrors only, instead of turning to look in the direction of travel.
7. Ignoring inspection and safety procedures: Skipping pre-shift checks or not using seatbelts.

These mistakes can lead to accidents, injuries, and equipment damage.
