Common sense issues regarding the placement of goods on the forks of manual forklifts

The fork of a manual forklift is the main part directly involved in carrying goods, and the placement of goods on the fork is very particular. Once the goods are not placed in place, it is likely to cause handling accidents. Below, Guanhang will take you to understand the common knowledge of the placement of goods on the fork of a manual forklift.

The placement of goods on the fork must be at the center of the fork, in order to ensure the overall force balance of the manual forklift. Of course, there are also some typical violations regarding the placement of goods, the most common of which are placing the goods forward or backward, using a single fork, and exceeding the length of the goods.

Backward deviation can easily cause goods to fall off or even manual forklifts to tilt their heads. Forward deviation can greatly increase the operator's fatigue. Using a single fork may lead to uneven loading, and in severe cases, manual forklifts may overturn. The length of the goods should generally not exceed one-third of the length of the fork, otherwise it will affect both steering and stability.
