DOS DONTS
When truck begins to turn from a normal position, be in your seat with seatbelts fixed firmly. When the lift truck starts to turn from an upright position, do not respond in leaping out of it, it is unsafe.
Maintain your feet and stay firm on holding the steering and keep aside from slanting position. Inclining a vehicle isnt that challenging. A slanted area is required.
Lift and lower the loads in the appropriate manner to avoid accidents. Whilst driving forklifts, dont compare it with your car.
