On the level
Fork lift truck operators don’t always have a sufficient view of their forks which can lead them to take measures which compromise safety in order to try and to get the forks level. A new device has been designed to help drivers set the correct mast tilt position accurately and quickly so that the forks are aligned with the load leaving them to focus on carrying out the job safely.
Why do double stacked pallets tend to lean and often topple?
Double stacking of pallets doubles the effective storage area and transport loading density so there is a massive incentive. However, incorrect double stacking greatly increases risk.
Accurate mast tilt indicator
Whilst forklift operator training is designed to teach the safest and best practice, which should minimise the risk of accidents, it cannot completely eliminate the risk of damages caused by forklifts, AEC Designs says.

Don’t drive faster, drive smarter
Whilst forklift operator training is designed to teach the safest and best practices which should minimise the risk of accidents, in the real world the drive for higher productivity can put pressure on operators to bend the rules.
Don’t drive faster, drive smarter
It is widely accepted that increasing forklift operating speed increases the likelihood and potential severity of accidents, so is it possible to work faster without compromising on safety?
