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.
