Safety Tip: When using an operator-up VNA lift truck in an elevated position, sound the horn with a few short blasts before lowering the cab. Listen for a response and, if clear, lower the cab straight down. This practice ensures that the area is clear, preventing accidents.

Remember, remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder treason and plot. We see no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot!

Safety Tip: When entering and exiting a lift truck, maintain three fixed points of contact. Use handholds instead of the steering wheel, as it may move and result in a fall. Follow this procedure to prevent falls and ensure a safe entry and exit.

Safety Tip: Do you intend to drive onto the back of a lorry? Ensure the lorry bed can take the weight of the forklift and its load. Even a basic unladen electric lift truck will weigh around three tonnes.

Safety Tip: Driving an unladen (unloaded) counterbalance truck slowly down an incline, with the forks pointing down the slope, increases stability, traction, and adhesion.

Safety Tip: While operating a lift truck, it is essential to keep all limbs and your head inside the confines of the lift truck. This practice prevents injury and ensures the safety provided by the lift truck's protective structure.
