Description
Forklift Safe Drive Rules Sign with Five Illustrated Rules
This forklift safe drive rules sign puts five key driving rules on one panel. Each rule has its own illustration and a green tick or red cross. As a result, drivers and pedestrians can see the rules without reading a long procedure.
What the Forklift Safe Drive Rules Sign Covers
The five rows read Keep it slow, it’s not a race and Do not travel or turn with a raised load. The others read Face your load uphill, Going downhill? Travel in reverse and Be careful of rear end swing. The uphill and downhill rows note that the opposite way applies if the forklift is empty. The last row also warns drivers to avoid rapid sideways pivoting movement.
Where to Install the Forklift Safe Drive Rules Sign
Fix this sign at warehouse and factory entrances, loading docks and yard gates. It also suits forklift charging and parking areas. Drivers then see the rules before they start work. For more machinery signage, explore our Site Machinery Signs range.
