Safety Precautions To Take When Using Stacking Equipment
5 KEY TIPS FOR SAFE STACKING:
- Make sure the truck is in order – look for signs of wear and tear to ensure safety.
- Avoid ramps – carrying heavy loads up and down ramps can lead to accidents.
- Pull rather than push – pulling allows for better control over your truck.
- Follow the load limit – the capacity is there for a reason, so don’t overload your stacker.
