- Introduction
- Importance of Training
- Motorized pallet jacks are just as numerous and pose the same kinds of hazards that forklifts do
- Consequences if they’re misused or not operated properly
- Operators need to be trained on the specific type of powered industrial truck they operate. If an operator is trained and certified to operate a forklift it doesn’t mean they’re automatically qualified to operate a motorized pallet jack
- Operations and Controls
- There are many different models of motorized pallet jacks offered by many different manufacturers
- Most common models used in workplaces are “walkie” or “walkie-rider” models
- Lift height and weight capacity vary by manufacturer and model but most can lift a load as high as 6 inches off the ground and can carry as much as 8,000 lbs
- Steering handle regulates the lift, lower, speed, direction and braking
- Common differences among manufacturers and models include:
- Where the controls are located
- How high the carriage can lift
- Load capacity
- It’s important that each operator be properly trained on the specific model they are about to use
- Accidents
- Most accidents are the result of an operator not following safe operating procedures or being unfamiliar with the controls of a specific model of pallet jack. Reported accidents include:
- Pedestrians getting caught between the pallet jack and a fixed object
- Pedestrians having their feet or toes run over
- Pedestrians hit by a falling load (due to an unsecured load and/or too fast turn)
- Operators engaging in horseplay such as riding on a walkie pallet jack
- Operators are crushed or even killed by a pallet jack that rolls off the edge of a ramp or loading dock
- Most accidents are the result of an operator not following safe operating procedures or being unfamiliar with the controls of a specific model of pallet jack. Reported accidents include:
- Safe Operating Procedures
- Pre-Use Inspection: The importance of inspecting the pallet jack prior to each use to ensure that any defects are reported and fixed before it is used
- Getting a Load: Proper techniques on approaching and securing a load
- Traveling with a Load: The “do’s” and “don’ts” when traveling with a load including safe travel heights, proper sight lines, correct hand positions on the controls, negotiating intersections, safe turning, and more
- Navigating on ramps and inclines
- Maneuvering in tight spaces
- Delivering a Load: Safe operating techniques such as coming to a complete stop before lowering the load and making sure the forks are completely lowered before pulling out
- Parking: Rules and what steps to follow when parking a pallet jack
- End of Shift: Proper procedures for shutting down and storing a pallet jack for the next day’s use
