3. Safety requirements during work

3.1. Work on moving cargo should be carried out under the direction of the official at whose disposal the loader is allocated.

3.2. When driving, follow the traffic rules for drivers. Operate the loader on work sites with a hard and level surface, cleared of snow and ice in winter, and sprinkled with sand in case of ice.

3.3. During stacking (disassembly) of stacks of cargo by forklifts in the area of ​​their work, there should be no paths for manual carrying and transportation of cargo, and also no reloading work should be carried out.

3.4. Observe the established driving speeds depending on the condition of the road surface and the nature of the work being performed. Reduce speed at intersections of pedestrian paths, at exits and entrances to production premises.

3.5. Do not exceed the speed of 5 km/h on the territory of the enterprise; in narrow, cluttered places, indoors and on turns, when moving past gates, doors, stacks XNUMX km/h.

3.6. When meeting pedestrians along the route, warn them with a signal, being at a distance of at least 5 m; If pedestrians do not leave the road, stop the forklift.

3.7. When transporting cargo without containers, make sure that the cargo is securely placed on the fork and does not touch the surface of the travel path.

3.8. Sound a warning signal before moving forward or backward, lifting or lowering a load, and in all cases where there is a possibility of an unexpected collision with a person.

3.9. When reversing the loader, especially in narrow passages, first make sure that nothing is blocking the movement.

3.10. Keep your distance to avoid being hit by a sudden stop. The distance to the vehicle in front must be at least 10 m, and on slopes - at least 20 m.

3.11. Take into account the dimensions of the opening at the entrance and exit through the gate, door.

• the load must be placed evenly on both legs and can extend forward beyond the fork by no more than 1/3 of the length of the legs;
• Large cargo may be placed above the protective device, but not more than one place.

3.22. Grasp the load with a fork when tilting the frame “away from you”, lift the load - when tilting the frame “towards you”.

3.23. Tilt the fork with the load slowly, smoothly moving the control lever.

3.24. Pick up and leave the load only with a clear clearance under the load, allowing free entry and exit of the forks.

The gripping device must provide a lifting height of the load from the ground that is not less than the ground clearance of the loader and no more than 0,5 m for a loader with pneumatic tires and 0,25 m for a loader with truck tires.

3.25. When operating a loader with an arrow, you must first lift the load, and then transport it.

It is forbidden to push the load from the stack and pull it up.

3.26. Before lifting and lowering the load, first inspect the place from where the load will be lifted and where it will be placed.

3.27. Lifting and warehousing of cargo should be carried out on condition that the loader is standing on a flat horizontal surface.

3.28. Lift and transport cargo in accordance with the load capacity of the machine and the table of permissible loads on the forks of the electric forklift, depending on the position of the center of gravity of the load.

3.29. When descending a slope of more than 3°, drive a loaded loader only in reverse and at low speed.

3.32. Apply the parking brake before lifting and lowering the load.

3.33. Place boxes in a stack one by one or in ready-made packages.

3.34. During work it is forbidden:

• carry out preventive maintenance or repair of the loader with raised load-handling devices (without insurance);
• work on the machine with the shield covering the panel with electrical equipment removed and the battery box cover removed;

• transport flammable liquids on electric forklifts, as well as acids, if the battery is located under the loading platform;
• leave the forklift turned on, place it in areas where vehicles are moving and on the railroad tracks;
• leave the control post with a raised load.

If you need to leave the forklift, lower the forks, remove the key from the electric lock, and set the parking brake.

3.35. Stop work if, for any reason, the carriage of the mobile mechanism stops moving along the slides and the forks do not lower or rise, and inform the person in charge of the loader. These malfunctions are not allowed to be repaired by the driver himself.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Random news from the Archive The Metaverse may be worse than social networks 01.12.2021 Modern technologies are shifting towards virtual and augmented reality, creating space to accommodate the metaverse. Skeptics are negative about this trend and believe that the metaverse can lead to the end of the reality known to people. As the inventor of the first augmented reality system, Louis Rosenberg, suggests, the metaverse could be much worse than social networks. Augmented Reality and the Metaverse seek to present content in the most natural way possible, thereby "changing the sense of reality", removing boundaries in people's minds and distorting the interpretation of everyday experience. “Personally, it scares me. Augmented reality will radically change all aspects of society and not necessarily for the better,” Rosenberg explained. According to the expert, social networks manipulate reality by filtering the content displayed to users. People are increasingly dependent on corporations to provide and maintain countless layers of technology between people and their daily lives. As Rosenberg believes, augmented reality will become such an integral part of life that people will not be able to simply take off their augmented reality glasses and deal with real problems. Removing points means that a person will be at a disadvantage social, economic and intellectual position. Rosenberg urges everyone to be careful, as augmented reality can easily be used to split society and sow discord among people.
