Ⅲ.Forklift driving mnemonic

1. "FORKS": 

When using a forklift, always remember this keyword, which represents the operation of the forklift, namely forward, lifting, backward, falling, and stopping.

2. "Front wheel high, rear wheel low, fork tip forward": 

When you want to lift goods, make sure that the front wheel of the forklift is high, the rear wheel is low, and the fork tip is tilted forward to increase stability.

3. "Slow operation, lower height": 

When you want to move goods, the speed of the forklift should be kept slow and low-key, and attention should be paid to placing the goods at a lower height, which can increase safety and avoid damaging the goods.

4. "Always be vigilant": 

When operating a forklift, be always vigilant and look around before moving forward or backward to ensure smooth roads.

5. "Center the goods": 

When you want to place the goods on the forklift, make sure to place the goods in the center of the fork to ensure balance.

6. "Do not overload": 

Follow the maximum load capacity of the forklift and do not overload. This will help maintain stability and safety.

7. "Using the horn": 

The horn on a forklift is not only used to issue a warning to the front, but can also issue a warning to the rear. When using a forklift, be sure to use a horn to remind others to pay attention.
