Meets the characteristics the forklift manufacturer used to determine the
forklifts rated capacity. Standard load is the shape of a 48-inch (121.9 cm) cube and
Standard Load sits on a 48-inch (121.9 cm) square pallet. A standard load's size, shape, and
weight distribution mean its center of gravity will be in the center of the forks
when the load is resting on the back of the forks.
Generally has a consistent shape and weight distribution like a standard load,
but may be longer or wider than a standard load. A non-standard load may be
Non-standard Load
more difficult to balance on the forks or may be impossible to hold with the
load's
center of gravity at the center of the forks.
A load with one or more physical characteristics that make it particularly
challenging to handle. An odd load might be a single, oddly shaped item, such as
Odd Load
a large, wedge-shaped boulder, or might be a pallet that contains multiple items
but is much heavier or one side than the other.
May prevent both disability and stability problems. A tall load may block your
forward vision, requiring you to operate the forklift in reverse. In addition, a
Tall Load
load that is taller than wide will cause the forklift's combined center of gravity
to shift further sideways on turns.
A wide load may present a problem with balance and forklift maneuverability. You
may not be able to spread to forks apart wide enough to balance the load from
Wide Load
side to side. If the load is sticking out past the sides of the fork, there is an
increased risk that the load may hit a person or an object that is in your path.
Be sure to check shipping papers and labels for a load to determine if it contains
hazardous materials. There are additional federal regulations regarding the
Load Containing Hazard Materials
transportation of hazardous materials. You may need to receive training, use
specific load-handling techniques, and store the materials in approved facilities.
