Checking your Fork Truck for Safety
A fork truck, similar to any industrial equipment, must be utilized with care. Not like a car, a fork truck is steered from the back wheel and therefore has a different center of balance. Anybody using a fork truck and everyone working in the vicinity of this equipment should understand safe operating measures and workplace safety guidelines.
Safe operation of a lift truck prior to using it would include a visual inspection. Fluid leaks and worn tires are potential dangers that an operator has to check. The forks, lifts and the overhead guard should be thoroughly inspected. The safety handle must be used when the forklift is being mounted.
The alarms, lights and horns must be tested to ensure that they are operating properly. Monitors and gauges should be adjusted properly. Safety belt should be fastened and seat adjusted prior to starting the truck.
To prevent tipping the machine, always choose the low rate speed when driving and take turns cautiously. If the load blocks the operator's vision, the truck must be driven in reverse gear. Be aware of the location of any pedestrians and obstacles when driving.
in order to prevent any chance of injury, the driver should always sit within the cage enclosure and keep all the body parts inside. The forks must be kept several inches above the ground while driving. Never lower or raise lifts when you are driving or the truck might become unstable. Never permit 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 periodically and before proceeding when operating within aisles. That way, you will warn any approaching person to your presence.
Operator Environment
Operators have an efficient and safe place to work from in the Spirit Delta cab. The specific design of the cab comes as a result of extensive research into the operators working conditions. The main objective is to provide optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is gently rounded and extremely comfortable. This particular area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential information, in order to keep the operator working as efficiently as she or he could.
Vibration levels and noise levels are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. So as to maintain an optimal working position, the operator seat and hydraulic controls are all independently adjustable. Furthermore, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and easy to operate levers that are offered for the horn, window washers, gear changing and windscreen wipers.
To guarantee a comfy cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit supplies incoming air which 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 recirculation, defrosting, cooling and heating. As an extra option, air conditioning could be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units that are all accessible. Standard instrumentation includes: high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. In addition, gauges display values for engine coolant, gearbox oil pressure, fuel quantity and operating time.
The ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring is one of the important options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These units make it easier to supervise the machinery. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS and incorporated by this system. The full text display and the single warning lamp show any errors which take place and their current values.
