• Always keep a safe distance from the edges of loading bays and loading ramps. Be attentive to marked risk areas.

•Before operating a hand pallet lift truck over a loading ramp, make sure that the loading ramp is correctly secured and has the necessary load bearing capacity. Operat e the hand pallet lift truck slowly and carefully across the ramp.
