Truck guides
July 1st 2008 BITA's Operator's Safety Code for
Powered Industrial Trucks (known
as the 'green book' for the colour
of its cover) was conceived in
1954, and since then has been
updated to reflect evolution in
products, applications and
legislation. It now includes
guidance on the rules applying to
forklift trucks used on
public roads.
It was followed in
1985 by BITA's
Operator's Safety
Code for Rough
Terrain Lift Trucks.
BITA's Dos and
Don'ts for Users
of Industrial and
Rough Terrain
Lift Trucks was
introduced in 1991
as a response to the European
Machinery Directive (89/655/EEC)
and subsequent amending
directives.
The fourth BITA guide is Stability
Awareness for Powered Industrial
Rough Terrain Lift Trucks,
published in 1990. More articles from BITA: |
