Forklift Accident: Insure a Clear Line of Sight

Always look in the direction of travel. If the load blocks your view, travel in reverse. Keep a clear view.

You can see our drivers held redacted as he watches from the right of the load. Not noticing trouble to the left.

I blame the black dots. Who can see with a black dot on their face?

[ultrainstinct]

The guy with the load is at fault. You never drive a forklift going forwards with a load that obstructs your view. You drive backwards and you turn your head or use your mirrors.

If you can't see infront of your load then you should OBVIOUSLY be travelling in reverse.
Rule number 2 when driving these machines.
I've been driving forklift trucks for over 30 yrs & you very early on learn this

[dsrevo]

The guy walking almost got run over too

Why the blurred crap? Everyone is 200 feet away.

[holschermarc]

If u cant look forward because of the Load u always drive backwards so u can see where u are going. One of the base things our Instructor told us

[holidayinn]

Did the dock manager not even bother to check out if he looked like he had ever been on a lift before? How do things like this even happen?

[MisterH]

I never drive forward unless I am going to drop off a pallet. I always honk to let people know I am gonna enter to drop off. Always need a line of sight.

Looks like an Amazon warehouse AKA hell.

[xaiano]

there is a reason why they can be driven in both directions

[hebber]

Like we could identify them from 75 ft away through a coke bottle.

[joojoojeejee]

Insure a clear line of sight? Are there insurances for that?

[tonydelaney]

That would be ‘ENSURE’ rather than Insure wouldn’t it???

[buickmonte]

Why are all of them carrying umberellas??

[landbouwNL]

Altijd achter uit rijden zie je alles beter
