Drivers are in charge of maintaining safe forklift speeds. You may promote safe forklift operation on your workplace by doing the following things:
- Put forklift speed limit signs in plain sight of the operators. These act as continual reminders to keep speeds safe.
- Install speed bumps for forklifts. These slow down traffic by requiring passing trucks to stop completely. Put them in pedestrian-trafficked areas, crosswalks, and areas with blind spots.
- Your forklifts should have speed-limiting equipment installed. These regulate the truck’s throttle system to stop drivers from speeding. They do not lessen the truck’s full lifting capacity.
- Install speed alarms on your forklifts. When they exceed the speed limit, these warn the operators. You can program forklift speed alarms to beep when the forklift gets close to the speed restriction. The alarm will sound a siren or show warning lights when the driver goes over the speed limit.
Setting truck speed limits is one thing. Additionally, you must enforce the restrictions and inform operators about them in order to maintain a safe work environment.
