KEEP YOUR FORKS UP — LITERALLY. 👀

This is why forklift awareness matters.

Low forks might seem harmless, but they can damage loading ramps, floors, doors, pallets, stock — and create a serious trip or impact hazard around site.

A simple rule for operators:

✅ Keep forks low while travelling
✅ But high enough to clear ramps, lips, plates, and uneven ground
✅ Slow down around loading docks
✅ Always check your path before moving

Small habits prevent big repair bills.
