14. When moving loads up or down grades, ramps or


inclines, always work from the high side of the
grade. Do not turn. Always travel straight up or
down.
15. Make sure that ramps, elevators and dock boards
have sufficient capacity to handle your load and
you.
16. Pull, rather than push loads on long distance
moves. (It is easier to see where you are going and
it is easier to steer your truck!)
17. Watch for overhead obstructions when handling
tall loads.
18. Park your pallet truck in a safe, level place with the
handle up and forks lowered.
