This outlines the essential steps to ensure a safe and efficient loading operation.

I. Pre-Operation Checks (Forklift and Operator)

1.  Forklift Inspection:

    Fluid Levels: Check hydraulic fluid, engine oil, coolant, and fuel.

    Tires: Inspect for proper inflation, cuts, and wear.

    Forks: Ensure they are not bent, cracked, or excessively worn.

    Mast: Check for smooth operation, no obstructions, and proper lubrication.

    Lights & Horn: Verify all working lights (headlights, taillights, warning lights) and the horn.

    Brakes: Test foot and parking brakes for proper function.

    Steering: Check for excessive play.

    Attachments: Verify the side shifter and fork positioner are functioning correctly and smoothly.

    Safety Devices: Confirm seatbelt is present and functional. Check fire extinguisher if equipped.

    Enclosed Cab & AC: Ensure the cab is secure, visibility is clear through windows, and the air conditioning unit is operational for operator comfort and safety in varying climates.

2.  Operator Readiness:

    Certification: Ensure the forklift operator is fully certified and experienced with 10-ton forklifts and the specific attachments.

    PPE: Operator should be wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including safety shoes, high-visibility clothing, and any other site-specific requirements.

    Fitness for Duty: Operator must be well-rested and free from any impairments.

II. Truck and Loading Area Preparation

1.  Truck Arrival & Positioning:

    Communication: Coordinate with the truck driver for arrival time and specific loading instructions.

    Parking: Guide the truck driver to park in the designated loading bay, ensuring the truck is straight and there is ample space around it for the forklift to maneuver.

    Engine Off: Instruct the truck driver to turn off the engine once positioned.

    Chock Wheels: Crucially, place wheel chocks firmly under the truck's wheels to prevent any accidental movement during loading.

    Trailer Legs/Supports: If a trailer is being loaded without a prime mover, ensure its landing gear is fully extended and stable. Consider additional jack stands for stability if required.

2.  Dock Plate/Ramp:

    Placement: Securely position the dock plate or ramp between the loading dock and the truck bed, ensuring it is properly seated and won't shift.

    Condition: Inspect the dock plate/ramp for damage, oil, or debris.

3.  Loading Area Inspection:

    Clearance: Ensure there are no overhead obstructions or personnel in the loading zone.

    Surface: Verify the loading area and truck bed are clear of debris, oil, water, or anything that could compromise traction.

    Lighting: Ensure adequate lighting for the operation, especially if it's low light or nighttime.

4.  Load Assessment:

    Weight & Dimensions: Confirm the weight and dimensions of the items to be loaded are within the forklift's capacity and suitable for the truck's capacity and configuration.

    Stability: Ensure the loads are stable, properly strapped/wrapped, and safe to lift.

    Loading Plan: Have a clear plan for how the items will be loaded onto the truck for optimal weight distribution and stability during transit.

III. Pre-Loading Briefing:

1.  Team Communication: If multiple people are involved, conduct a brief meeting to confirm roles, signals, and potential hazards.

2.  Safety Reminders: Reinforce all safety procedures with the operator and any ground personnel.
