Make sure your truck is properly equipped

All industrial trucks with driver must be equipped with an overhead guard as protec-
tion against dropping objects, unless all other following conditions are met:
1. The vertical mast movement is restricted to 1826 mm/72 inch or less above
ground;
2. The industrial truck is operated in an area where:
– the lower edge of a stacked load is not more than 1825 mm/72 inch and the
upper edge is not more than 3050 mm/120 inch from the ground during
stacking;
– loads in the form of stable and preferably rigidly connected units or containers
are handled;
– protection against objects dropping from neighboring high-bay warehouse
areas is provided. An overhead guard is to protect the driver from dropping
objects but cannot provide protection against any possible impact. As a
consequence, an overhead guardshould not be regarded as a replacement for
good judgment and care during handling of loads.
3. The industrial truck must be marked with its area of operation.
A load backrest extension must be attached to protect the operator against a load or
parts dropping onto him.
