Forklift unloading
This card shows the energy in this activity and what to verify before starting. It's a reference, not a step-by-step procedure. The checklist below stays on this screen; nothing is saved or sent.
Forklift unloading combines a moving machine, elevated loads and people on foot in the same area.
High-energy check
A loaded forklift at walking pace usually exceeds the 1500 J trigger from the standpoint of a person on foot. Treat the machine and the elevated load as high energy.
Direct controls to verify
Ticks stay on this screen only. Nothing is saved or sent.
For your SPA or pre-start
State the traffic route, the pedestrian exclusion, the load stability checks and who controls the interface between the machine and people on foot.
