OSHA Worker Safety Series- Warehousing 
TCM newDocks Hazards-
Injuries happen here when forklifts run off the dock, products fall on employees or equipment strikes a person.
 
Solutions:
  • Drive forklifts slowly on docks and dock plates;
  • Secure dock plates and check to see if the plate can safely support the load;
  • Keep clear of dock edges and never back up a forklift to the dock's edge;
  • Provide visual warnings near dock edges;
  • Prohibit "Dock Jumping" by employees;
  • Make sure that dock ladders and stairs meet OSHA specifications.

New & Reconditioned Lifts
 TCM newTri-Lift offers new and reconditioned forklifts and aerial lifts. We know every company has a unique combination of needs and budget when it comes to their Material Handling Equipment. If new is not in that budget, like many companies these days, a high quality reconditioned lift is a cost-save alternative. For help through this process contact Lee Marsh at 1-800-929-0561 or lmarsh@tri-liftnc.com

Chain Inspections
TCM newIf your forklift chains are not carefully inspected for wear and properly maintained, ultimately they will fail. This not only could be a safety hazard but also damage your product and other parts of your forklift.  A Chain Inspection will determine your forklifts'  chain condition. We can inspect your chains to determine if there is Elongation, Rust Corrosion, Cracked Plates, Misalignment, Protruding and Turned pins and check the Chain Anchors and Sleeves. Our Safety Inspections page goes in to more details of the benefits.  Contact our Service Department to check your chains today at service@tri-liftnc.com.
