#TipsTuesday: Wheel Loader operator tips to maximise productivity and save fuel 1️⃣Truck at 45 degrees - Ensure that the truck is positioned at an angle of 45 degrees to the face of the material. This is the best possible position of material, truck and loader to ensure minimum loader movement, resulting in faster cycle times and less fuel consumption. 2️⃣Straight-on approach - The loader should make a straight-on (square) approach to the face of the material. This ensures that both sides of the bucket hit the face at the same time for a full bucket. A straight-on approach also minimises side forces on the machine – which can cause wear and tear in the long term. 3️⃣First gear - The loader approaches the face in first gear, at a steady speed. This low-gear, high torque provides optimised machine power for best material penetration. 4️⃣Minimise ground contact - The cutting edge of the bucket should not touch the ground more than 15 to 40cm before the face of the material. This reduces bucket wear and material contamination. It also reduces fuel consumption since there is no unnecessary friction between bucket and ground. #OperatorTips #ProductivityHacks #LoaderOperations #MaterialHandling #ConstructionTips

#TipsTuesday: Avoid any potential accidents with our forklift safety tips! ✅ Avoid overturning by not carrying loads at dangerous heights while on the move. Keep your load low when travelling. ✅ Avoid spilling large or unusual loads by travelling backwards down steep declines and ensuring the load is safely secured. ✅Travel slowly and use your horn to make others aware that you are coming. ✅ When you leave your truck unattended, don’t forget to apply the parking brake and take it out of gear. ✅ Avoid vehicle movement in the loading dock by removing the driver’s keys, installing a traffic light system or simply use a chock until the loading process is complete. ✅ Never transport anyone other than yourself and your load. Keep limbs inside of the truck whilst it is moving. #SafetyTips #SafetyFirst #Forklift #CHL
