Even when lift truck operators get sufficient training and pass their certifications, there's a risk to operating lift trucks or working on foot in their vicinity. Intersections and aisles get busy with traffic, including other lift trucks, associates working on foot, and increasingly, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Dock areas get congested, and loading or unloading trailers with lift trucks also poses potential dangers, especially if trailers ar.en't properly restrained. Goods falling from overhead is always a risk, as are pallets or goods left in unexpected positions on floors. These risks have long existed, but now industry trends like growth in e-commerce and chronic labor shortages amplify the risks, say lift truck providers. It all boils down to increasingly hectic environments. |
