What are the risks when operating an off-road forklift?

In rough terrain forklift handling operations, phenomena such as overloaded loads, unbalanced swaying of goods during loading and unloading, and accidental falls of goods causing injuries to people frequently occur. Possible causes include: lifting the load too quickly during rough terrain forklift operations, or exceeding the specified speed during transport, leading to sudden braking or evasive maneuvers that cause goods to fall off the vehicle; or failing to secure the goods tightly to the vehicle as required, or the loaded goods not matching the fork arm attachment, causing goods to drop from the fork frame. To address this risk, the following key points can be adopted to resolve or minimize it: operating the rough terrain forklift should strive for smoothness, stacking goods neatly and securing them tightly to the fork frame before transport, avoiding sudden braking and sharp turns while driving, promptly leveling uneven road surfaces, and following relevant regulations and procedures during operation, without overloading or overloading goods during loading and unloading. When the load on the fork frame is excessively heavy, it can cause the rear of the vehicle to lift up. If a person stands at one end of the rough terrain forklift at this time, using body weight as a counterbalance, the rear of the vehicle will suddenly tilt upward when lifting goods, resulting in the person falling and being injured. The cause of such an accident may be overloaded operation of the rough terrain forklift, or a lack of protective measures at the position where the person stands. Regarding the safe use of rough terrain forklifts, operators should carefully check before operation whether components such as seat belts, horns, lights, and reverse alarms are functioning properly, pay attention to the forklift's operating speed, and inspect changes in vehicle stability. Operators should fasten their seat belts, follow relevant specifications before each operation, and correctly select and install tires, choosing appropriate inner tubes according to tire specifications.
