Forklift Safety: A Lifesaving Guide Once you have safely lifted and moved the load it is time to drop it at the new location. This spot should also have been inspected to make sure it is free of any debris and capable of holding the load. The cartons might have maximum stacking quantities or orientation instructions that you should note and follow. Remember that you can not safely stack heavy loads on top of lighter loads. If the rack you intend to put the load on is damaged in any way it should not be used. Whatever part of the rack is broken should be repaired before anything is placed on it. Once something falls into disrepair you can not determine how much weight it can safely hold, instead of taking risks fix it first. !2010 www.CreativeSafetySupply.com | (866) 777-1360
