Every year many minor and unnecessary incidents occur due to negligent and unwise use of in-house transport equipment. This information poster was developed to remind users, in an easy-to-follow way, how to work safely with electric pallet trucks.
Forklifts are extremely useful workplace vehicles, as long as they are used safely and appropriately by operators who are appropriately trained and competent to use them.
Forklifts can be dangerous: they account for 25% of injuries at work. Many workplace accidents involve people being hit or run over by forklift trucks (typically when the forklift is reversing) because the driver did not see them. Owing to their size and weight, injuries resulting from forklifts are generally very serious. Accidents involving them are often caused by poor supervision and a lack of training.
Always:
Wear appropriate personal protective clothing as provided by employer. Hard hat, protective footwear and high visibility clothing are recommended as a minimum when working around forklifts. Other equipment may be needed depending on the working environment
Report defects immediately to supervisor
Make sure work path is free of obstructions
Wear operator restraints, where fitted
Look all around before moving off
Look in the direction of travel
Avoid sudden stops and violent braking
Take care when driving on wet, icy , slippery or loose surfaces Slow down at corners, doorways, and at danger spots
Sound the horn several times when approaching blind corners, exits and entrances
Switch off and remove the key before leaving the forklift. Place the key in a safe location when driving task is completed
Apply the parking brake before leaving the forklift
Report any accidents or near misses to a supervisor
Park the forklift in a safe place, on level ground; never on a slope
Leave the forklift with the mast tilted forwards and the forks fully lowered, with the tips on the floor
Apply the parking brake, select neutral, switch off the engine and remove the key
Return keys or other activating devices to their place of safe-keeping
Report any malfunctions or defects immediately to a supervisor.
Assess the load before lifting. Check weight, size, load centre and security
Make sure that pallets are in good condition
Observe floor loading limits & Travel slowly when going down slopes
Find out the weight of the laden forklift
Check safe working load (SWL) of racking before placing loads onto it
Make sure load does not obstruct view. If it does, drive in reverse, looking in direction.
Make sure there is adequate clearance for the forklift and load, including overhead
Make sure the load is stable, Carry the load as close to ground as possible, Use controls smoothly & arms are fully inserted when travelling with a load
Position forks properly and as widely as possible
Make sure the fork Make sure the forklift is stopped before raising the load
Use suitable attachments for lifting unusual or wide loads
Ensure the forks face uphill when travelling up or down slopes with a load
Ensure the forks face downhill when travelling up or down slopes without a load
Adjust the tilt (where fitted) to suit the gradient and raise the forks to clear the ground

The Minnesota State Fire Code was adopted on March 31, 2020. The new Minnesota code is based on the 2018 International Fire Code (IFC).
Minnesota's laws addressing warehouse fire concerns are comprehensive, encompassing various codes and regulations to ensure safety. The Minnesota State Fire Code (MSFC), which adopts the International Fire Code (IFC) with specific state amendments, plays a pivotal role. This code includes regulations on fire protection systems, storage of hazardous materials, and general fire safety requirements. Warehouses are required to have fire protection systems such as automatic sprinklers, fire alarms, and smoke detectors, which must undergo regular inspections and maintenance.
Building and electrical safety are also critical, with the Minnesota State Building Code and National Electrical Code (NEC) being enforced to mitigate fire risks. Proper installation and maintenance of electrical systems are essential to prevent fires. For hazardous materials, there are specific guidelines for storage and handling, requiring proper labeling, segregation, and storage methods to minimize fire hazards.
Initially, we thought we would prepare this in the theme of ten safety commandments, but soon we discovered that we had twelve points we wanted to list. So sacrificing a title that may have been more attractive in order to present a product we feel is more complete.

Starting a collection without a plan is like building a house without a blueprint - it can get messy, fast. Imagine a parts department where items are just tossed into containers and shelved anywhere and everywhere. What a nightmare, right? This kind of chaos can lead to so much wasted time as employees scramble to find what they need. It can also mean parts get lost, which can delay services and leave customers unhappy. So, it's clear that keeping an orderly parts department is super important for smooth operations and satisfied customers. To combat these issues, Toyota, a leading forklift manufacturing company, offers seven steps to improve stocking methods. These steps are not merely suggestions but are vital tools in enhancing the overall operations of a parts department or stores.
There's an old saying that if you have rat problems you should catch one, paint it white, and then turn it loose. The other rats will disappear.
I was recently reading an Amish magazine about a farmer who tried the idea. He and his boys trapped a rat in the barn and then poured white paint over it before setting it free. A week or so later their dog started catching rats out in the fields around the homestead where they had never seen rats before. And, at the time his story was written, he had not seen any signs of rats around the barn for six weeks.

VNA machines (very narrow aisle) trucks are capable of working in 1.5 – 2m aisles
making the maximum use of storage space. This is the area in which designer
Freddy Brown was responsible for many developments prior to designing the original Bendi articulated truck. Freddy recognized that these small aisles required compromise in other areas. The Bendi was developed to remove these compromises.
Owning a Bendi B3/30AC, which is an articulated forklift truck commonly used in warehouse and distribution settings, can offer several benefits:
1. **Space Optimization**: The Bendi B3/30AC is designed to operate in narrow aisles, making it ideal for warehouses where space is limited. Its ability to maneuver in tight spaces can maximize storage capacity.
2. **Versatility**: These forklifts are versatile and can handle a variety of loads, including pallets, containers, and other materials. They are equipped with adjustable forks and can lift loads to considerable heights, allowing for efficient stacking and retrieval operations.
3. **Improved Efficiency**: With their ability to navigate narrow aisles and handle various loads, Bendi B3/30AC forklifts can significantly improve operational efficiency in warehouse environments. They can help streamline material handling processes, reducing the time and labor required for tasks such as loading, unloading, and pallet handling.
Toyota’s High-Capacity Reach Truck enables you to reach higher, work smarter, and be comfortably productive regardless of the assignment. For tall tasks and heavy orders, you need the Toyota High-Capacity Reach Truck.
When a forklifts center of gravity is directly above its wheelbase they are generally a very stable piece of equipment.
The most common forklift tip overs occur when the unit tips either forward or to one side.
Sideways Tip Overs occur when a forklifts centre of gravity shifts too far to the left or right of the wheelbase, which can occur during sharp or sudden turns.
Forward Tip Overs occur when a forklifts center of gravity shifts too far forward, which can happen when it is being driven down a ramp.

Working with a forklift is vigorous work, and not everyone can do it. In order to use a forklift, the operator needs to be certified and have a high-level understanding of OSHA forklift safety and training. Getting behind the wheel without proper training can result in accidents, injuries, and workplace catastrophes.
If you are in an industry that requires forklifts for heavy materials, you need to understand the risks and hazards of your job. Employers should always complete a forklift hazard risk assessment before letting the machine be used in a new area. Forklift operation safety is imperative for the well-being of everyone involved.
This forward-thinking forklift model is not a one-trick pony. Instead, it enables your operators to customize their approach to various tasks. It is supported by Toyota's assurance of excellence and the quality guarantee provided by your local Toyota dealer.
Narrow aisles can greatly impact your profitability, but what happens when you need space for wide loads like lumber, pipe, or rolled material? We are excited to introduce the new Toyota multi-directional reach truck, designed to make your operations with narrow aisles and wide loads a whole lot easier. Let's take a closer look at its amazing features.
Enhanced Maneuverability: The multi-directional reach truck is equipped with load wheels that rotate, allowing it to travel sideways down narrow aisles. Say goodbye to right-angle turns and hello to smooth aisle navigation.
Versatile Handling: This reach truck has the ability to handle wide and bulky loads securely, ranging from eight feet to 22 feet. With a lift capacity of up to 4,500 pounds and a maximum lift height of 268 inches, you can trust it to manage your heavy loads with ease. Plus, its auxiliary carriage with up to 4 supports can accommodate flexible loads up to 22 feet wide.
Space Optimization: By using the multi-directional reach truck, you can reduce the aisle width by up to 40 percent. This means more efficient use of your warehouse space without compromising on productivity.
Operator-Friendly Design: Our reach truck is designed with operator comfort in mind. It features a cushioned floor and a padded wraparound compartment, ensuring a comfortable working environment throughout the shift. The open view mast provides excellent visibility, allowing operators to easily see the base legs, load, and rack. The multi-function control handle puts all hydraulic controls, travel, and horn button right at your fingertips, making operation a breeze.
Efficient and Reliable: The reach mechanism is built to last, with a rugged torsion tube and anti-friction scissor featuring radial thrust bearings. For precise loading and unloading, you can opt for the fork tip laser guide, high tilt indicator, and integrated carriage camera, all accessible through the user-friendly touchscreen display. The multi-directional reach truck is powered by efficient, low-maintenance AC motors, ensuring smooth operation and increased productivity.
OSHA's Lockout/Tagout Fact Sheet describes the practices and procedures necessary to disable machinery or equipment to prevent the release of hazardous energy. The OSHA standard for The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) for general industry outlines specific action and procedures for addressing and controlling hazardous energy during the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment.
When it comes to running an industrial operation, equipment can be one of the most expensive components. Forklifts are a prime example of this. However, there are options to consider before making a purchase. One option is to rent or lease the equipment. But how do you decide whether to buy or rent/lease a forklift? It's important to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each option, as what might work best for one company may not be the best decision for another.
If you have the available funds and want to invest in creating assets owned by the business, buying equipment is usually an excellent decision. Not only does it provide the business with a tangible asset, but it can also be more cost-effective in the long run. This is especially true if you plan on using the equipment for a long period of time.
On the other hand, if you require specialized equipment that rental suppliers may not have readily available, purchasing may be the smarter choice. In this case, renting or leasing may not be a viable option. By purchasing the equipment, you have control over its use and can customize it to meet your specific needs.
It's important to carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of each option before making a decision. By doing so, you can make sure that the choice you make is the right one for your business, both in the short and long term.
The Smart Environment Sensor Plus™ (SEnS+) camera has been exclusively designed for forklifts to detect objects and pedestrians in the detection range. The system supports your operation by notifying the operator with a warning buzzer and warning lights. In addition to the system notifications, the system can control the traveling speed and slow down the truck for pedestrians and objects in specific conditions.

Designed and manufactured with safety in mind
Every year many minor and unnecessary incidents occur due to negligent and unwise use of in-house transport equipment. Pallet trucks such as the
BT Levio are designed to make it easy to transport pallets from A to B. A truck that is easy to operate helps reduce the risk of accidents and physical
injury. This information poster was developed to remind users, in an easy-to-follow way, how to work safely with electric pallet trucks.
For more information about BT Levio and other products and services from Toyota Material Handling Europe, visit www.toyota-forklifts.eu.
Only authorized persons are allowed to
operate pallet trucks.
Never operate the truck with wet or slippery
hands and don't wear slippery shoes.
If visibility is limited, slow down.
Handle only loads that are stable and properly
secured.
The display shows codes such as error codes.
Read the Operator's manual before calling
service.
Always switch off the pallet truck after use.
Never allow a passenger to ride on the pallet
truck and never hang on to or hitch a ride.
On slippery floors, slow down to prevent the
pallet truck from sliding or overturning.
Never park on slopes, in front of emergency
exits or other places where you obstruct
traffic.
In case of an emergency, press the
emergency switch-off button.
Inspect the pallet truck before use.
Don't use the pallet truck as a step.
Always maintain a safe distance from floor
demarcations, loading platforms and the like.
Watch out for areas marked 'dangerous'.
Always look in the direction you are driving
and brake in good time so as to prevent
damage to the load.
Always wear safety boots.
Drive the pallet truck carefully, sensibly and
responsibly. Avoid rapid acceleration and
braking and drive carefully around corners.
Warn others by using the horn when
overtaking, negotiating corners with a
restricted view, and at crossings.
Be careful with the battery and the
connections. Check the condition of the
battery regularly.
Always report damage before it gets worse.
On slopes, drive slowly and in a straight line,
keeping the load on the uphill side.
Never execute a turn on a slope.
Only transport loads which fall within the
capacity of the pallet truck.
Only qualified personnel are allowed to do
maintenance, adjustment and repairs.
