When driving a forklift for cars like slide car Bang Bua thong (รถสไลด์บางบัวทอง which is the term in Thai), the operator must observe the points below.

1 – Do not load your forklift more than allowed. The permitted load and load centers are on the nameplate of your forklift. Consult them before operating.

2 – Always look ahead. The important thing is that you reach your goal safely and quickly.

Keep 3 vehicles away from other vehicles. Be alert and drive on the right side of streets and corridors. 3 – Attention! Be careful when traveling from light areas to darker areas and vice versa. Watch out for oil or grease stains. Give right of way to pedestrians.

4 – Don’t turn too fast.

Forklift is not a race car! Take turns carefully, and don’t forget to honk beforehand.

5 – Brake slowly and carefully!

To avoid involuntary “flights”… that are useless!

6 – Go in reverse when going down ramps with the forklift loaded!

If the load is blocking your visibility, reverse and on level ground. With the vehicle unladen, drive the forks forward on descents and rear on hills. Do the opposite with the forklift loaded.

7 – Always transport with the forklift column tilted backward!

This will prevent the load from slipping. Tie loose loads to ensure stability.

8 – Keep the forks as low as possible, and do not travel with the load high!

Create a low, safe center of gravity. Collapse the mast of reach trucks before moving it. Raise or lower the load only when the vehicle is stationary.

9 – Transport only on sufficiently resistant floors!

If the weight is too much, the floor may sink. By the way, do you know how much your loaded forklift weighs?

10 – Drive your forklift, preferably on hard and smooth floors!

If the floor has holes or bumps, drive “slow”! Prevent your forklift and cargo from playing.

11 – Keep an eye on traffic signs.

They exist for your safety!

12 – Attention!

Forklift guides itself with head, legs, and arms! Don’t forget any of them “out” of your machine.

13 – Pay attention to the height of the doors! And also at ceiling height. Honk your horn and walk slowly through the doors until you can see the other side. Signal!

14 – Daily inspections

Brakes, steering, and tires; horn and alarms; indicator lights; controls and instruments; Safety equipment; hoses, belts, cables; mast and forks; leaks.

15 – Periodic inspections

Ventilation belt; screws, nuts, bolts, and welds; tilt when the load is lifted; ventilation currents; fork level; covers.

16 – In case of accidents.

Always notify your superior so that he can check for possible damage (to the forklift, the structure, etc.) and fill in the report.
