Powered Industrial Trucks

Powered industrial trucks are classified into categories for the purpose of determining what type of truck may be used in a certain location.  The type of hazard in a location determines whether diesel, electric, gasoline, or LP-gas powered trucks may be used and what additional safeguards must be present.  Suppliers can assist in the proper selection.

1.High-lift-rider trucks must be fitted with an overhead guard.

2.Methods must be developed and used to effectively train operators in the safe operation of powered industrial trucks, and only trained and authorized operators may operate the truck.

3.When a powered industrial truck is left unattended (operator more than 25 feet from the truck), the forks must be fully lowered, the control lever positioned in neutral, the power shut off, and the brakes set.  The wheel must be blocked if parked on an incline.

4.Industrial trucks must be examined daily for any conditions adversely affecting the safety of the vehicle before being placed into service.  If the truck is used around the clock, it must be inspected after each shift.

5.If the load being carried obstructs forward view, the operator is required to travel with the load trailing.

6.When unloading or loading from trucks, trailers, or railroad cars with forklift trucks, provisions must be made for securing the truck, trailer, or railroad car by setting the brakes and placing wheel chocks under the rear wheels.  Portable dock boards must be secured in position with devices which will prevent their slipping during loading and unloading.

7.If battery-operated equipment is used, the battery charging area is to be designated with a “NO SMOKING” sign due to the hydrogen gas emitted during the charging process.
