  Important advice on how to avoid Pallet Truck & Handling Equipment Injuries and/or Accidents

  The manouevering of palletised loads is central to any warehouse or operational setting, so correct training for all operatives on how to use this type of machinery is vital to ensure the occurrence of accidents and/or injuries are minimised.

  As an employer, the worst thing you can do is to not have regular maintenance, repairs, or servicing of your pallet trucks and other handling equipment to ensure they function correctly and safely. It is also vital that you ensure that anyone who is to operate this type of machinery is fully trained and competent in the handling of such machinery.

  In any warehouse or operational setting, the most commonly used handling and lifting equipment are pallet (pump) trucks, stackers, highlift trucks, platform lifters, tow trucks, and scissor lift tables. These robust pieces of apparatus can ensure your business runs more smoothy and is much more efficient, but if any of these are used incorrectly, it can lead to serious accidents or injuries.
