Forklift Safety

Inspect a Van Before Loading or Unloading

A van moving or shifting while loading or unloading can cause a whole series of expensive problems.

While most forklift operators agree that chocks are good idea, that may be just one of several safety steps that your company should require to keep a van stationary and safe during loading or unloading.

Here are some important points to consider:

Rear impact guard (ICC bar): Damage may prevent a dock lock from engaging fully and may indicate the presence of other damage to the trailer which can impact the capacity of the van.
Front landing gear: Damage might cause the landing gear to collapse.
