What Is a Safe Distance Between Forklifts and Pedestrians? Ideally, you should keep a forklift as far away from pedestrians as possible. In areas where pedestrians are present, a minimum distance of 4 ft. is necessary.
It's important to note that the forklift's size, speed, load, and environment contribute to the potential for an accident. However, a general rule of thumb is that individuals should at least stay the length of the forklift plus its load away, or in more direct terms, 10 feet away from a moving forklift.
In general, you want to buy a forklift that still has somewhere between a fourth and a half of its life left. That's probably somewhere between 7,000 and 11,000 hours. Of course, if you can find a machine with even fewer forklift hours, that is ideal, but you may not get the level of savings you're looking for.
FORKLIFT SAFETY – 3 METRE EXCLUSION ZONE A three metre safe exclusion zone around forklifts must be enforced whilst they are operating. This means Crew Members and all other personnel must maintain a safe working distance from forklifts. Getting too close to a forklift can result in catastrophic injuries.
A powered industrial truck is considered "unattended": When the operator is 25 ft. or more away from the vehicle even if it remains in his view, or whenever the operator leaves the vehicle and it is not in his view.
The safe distance between machines is the length of three forklifts. This also equates to at least 20 feet or the three-second rule when driving. Maintaining a safe driving distance allows the operator enough time to break and prevents collisions with other machines or pedestrians.
The average lifespan of a forklift is 10,000 hours. It's also important to mention that it's common to see lift trucks last more than 20,000 hours from higher-quality brands, such as Toyota.
Forklift leases can range from 12 to 72 months. But the most common duration is 36 to 60 months. Forklift lessees generally chose the duration of the lease based on the application. For example, if it's a high-usage application, they'll often choose a shorter term lease.
