Standard Load - Answer-Meets the characteristics the forklift manufacturer used to
determine the forklifts rated capacity. Standard load is the shape of a 48-inch (121.9
cm) cube and sits on a 48-inch (121.9 cm) square pallet. A standard load's size, shape,
and weight distribution mean its center of gravity will be in the center of the forks when
the load is resting on the back of the forks.
Non-standard Load - Answer-Generally has a consistent shape and weight distribution
like a standard load, but may be longer or wider than a standard load. A non-standard
load may be more difficult to balance on the forks or may be impossible to hold with the
load's center of gravity at the center of the forks.
Odd Load - Answer-A load with one or more physical characteristics that make it
particularly challenging to handle. An odd load might be a single, oddly shaped item,
such as a large, wedge-shaped boulder, or might be a pallet that contains multiple items
but is much heavier or one side than the other.
Tall Load - Answer-May prevent both disability and stability problems. A tall load may
block your forward vision, requiring you to operate the forklift in reverse. In addition, a
load that is taller than wide will cause the forklift's combined center of gravity to shift
further sideways on turns.
Wide Load - Answer-A wide load may present a problem with balance and forklift
maneuverability. You may not be able to spread to forks apart wide enough to balance
the load from side to side. If the load is sticking out past the sides of the fork, there is an
increased risk that the load may hit a person or an object that is in your path.
Load Containing Hazard Materials - Answer-Be sure to check shipping papers and
labels for a load to determine if it contains hazardous materials. There are additional
federal regulations regarding the transportation of hazardous materials. You may need
to receive training, use specific load-handling techniques, and store the materials in
approved facilities.
