| Today's material handling equipment is designed to
maximize productivity while minimizing the risk of injury to your
employees. Utilization of lift truck warnings systems can help
achieve this. Visual warnings can include decals and markings
on equipment that employees encounter while working on or near the
lift trucks. Capacity identification plates and warning decals
are but a few of the systems required to reduce risk.
When these plates and decals are in place, operators are
forewarned of potential dangers. When proper operating
procedures are followed, your operator can greatly reduce his/her
chance of misuse of equipment and greatly enhance his/her ability to
react properly in an emergency situation.
Original decals are applied when the new lift truck is built, but
the condition of the decals will deteriorate when working in harsh
environments. Aging also impacts the condition and overall
effectiveness of decals. Likewise, modifications to equipment
can void the existing decal and plate information.
Universal symbols are used for individuals that cannot speak or
read the English language. Translated plates and decals are
also available for your use.
