What should be paid attention to when turning and reversing a hydraulic forklift

Hydraulic stacker belongs to a type of forklift, and its main function is not only to transport goods on a large scale, but more importantly, it can also stack goods, which is in line with the name hydraulic stacker. Due to the larger specifications of hydraulic forklifts compared to conventional electric and manual forklifts, there are certain safety hazards during operation, especially when turning or reversing. So how can we effectively prevent it?

Firstly, let's solve the problem of turning around. When turning around, hydraulic stackers should try to choose a wide road or field and make a turn from right to left. When turning around, it is necessary to observe the situation in advance, send out the signal to turn around in a timely manner, and make the turn without affecting the driving of other vehicles. If you cannot adjust it at once and need to reverse, be sure to carefully observe the situation behind the car, control the speed appropriately, and sound the horn to indicate.

Next is reversing, which usually occurs on narrow roads such as workshops and warehouses. Due to space limitations, it is not possible to turn around and can only be done by reversing. When reversing, a dedicated person needs to stand behind the hydraulic stacker on one side (a position that is easy for the driver to notice) to command the reversing. When reversing a hydraulic forklift, not only should attention be paid to the rear of the vehicle, but also the position of the front wheels to avoid the front part of the hydraulic forklift hitting obstacles.

These are the safe handling methods for turning and reversing hydraulic stacker trucks. Everyone must pay attention to them when operating, only in this way can the safe operation of hydraulic stacker trucks be ensured.
