5.1 Safety duties of the operator
The operator shall be responsible for the safe operation of the forklift truck in accordance with ISO 11525-1:2012 Chapter 5 or ISO 11525-2:2015 Chapter 5.
5.2 Operation with free swinging loads
In addition to the requirements of ISO 11525-1 or ISO 11525-2, the operator shall use a tether or hooked rope to control the free swinging load under the direction of a professionally trained person.
5.3 Forking and placing the free-swinging load
The operator shall observe the following operating instructions.
a) Before starting to fork and place the free-swinging load:
1) Know or determine the mass of the load, including the mass of all rigging (e.g. slings, shackles) and the position of the centre of the load;
2) Before placing the load, verify the load carrying capacity of the load bearing surface
3) ensure that the frame is leveled in both longitudinal and transverse directions before lifting the boom or gantry with or without a load and/or with the assistance of a team member
3) ensure that the frame is levelled both longitudinally and laterally within the manufacturer's requirements before raising the boom or gantry with or without a load and/or with the help of a team member
4) operate the stabilizer leg control handles (if equipped) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, incorrect use of these control handles may cause the forklift to tip over; and
Improper use of these handles may cause the forklift to tip over;
5) determine the appropriate lifting point for the load, taking into account the centre of gravity and load stability
6) Never use spreaders or chains to suspend loads directly from forks or fork stands unless approved by the manufacturer; 7) Tether free swinging loads to limit unintended movement;
8) Avoid lifting double loads;
9) If the forklift truck is equipped with a hydraulically driven slewing fork carrier, verify that:
Before lifting a swinging load, reset the swing axis of the slewing fork frame to 0° in all directions;
The slewing fork frame will not slew under load and vibration (e.g. pilot-operated check valve).
5.4 Suspension of free swinging loads with attachments
When using the implement to suspend a free swinging load, the operator should observe the following operating instructions: a) Ensure that the implement is properly secured and that all locking devices are locked;
b) Use caution when fixing, positioning and transporting free swinging loads;
c) When not suspending a free swinging load, operate the forklift with the attachments as if it were a partially loaded forklift;
d) Take particular care when tilting free swinging loads forwards and backwards, especially when stacking at high levels, and do not tilt the load suspension device forward when it is at a high level.
Do not tilt forward when the load suspension is high, except when forking or placing free swinging loads over racks or stacks;
e) ensure that the load profile of the implement used is clearly visible.
5.5 Spreader/rigger requirements
Materials should be loaded and unloaded by a qualified spreader/rigger.
When an employee is engaged in hooking, unhooking, or guiding a load, or in the initial attachment of a load to a component or structure, and within a fall zone, all of the following conditions shall be met:
The material being lifted is rigged to prevent accidental movement;
hooks with self-locking pins or other equivalents are used. Note: "J" hooks are permitted for the placement of wooden elm frames (exception).
Before rigging a free-swinging load, the spreader/rigger shall
a) know or determine the mass of the load and confirm with the operator that the load does not exceed the actual load carrying capacity of the forklift and tackle combination; b) know or determine the centre of gravity of the free-swinging load and its stability;
c) determine the appropriate lifting point; and
d) determine and ensure that the rigging is adequate to carry the load, depending on the construction of the rigging, e.g. single line or otherwise
e) ensure that the free swinging load is stable and properly arranged. Do not suspend high centre of gravity loads at will
f) Use short rigging to minimise the swing of the free swinging load to allow for low boom angles;
g) When placing free-swinging loads, use double lines of rigging as appropriate to help control and stabilise the free-swinging load.
