Greetings !!
Transport of large-size tyres is extremely important, though often ignored by entrepreneurs or employees of services or warehouses. Fork-lifts are the most common and universal means of transferring/ transporting large-size tyres in warehouses or service centers. Because of its size, OTR tyre is a load which cause many problems with transportation. Therefore, it is extremely important to remember about all safety rules; and it is especially important to secure the transported tyre to avoid dangerous situations, such as the slippage of the tyre form fork-lift tynes, which is a potential threat to the fork-lift's operator, bystanders or the vehicle itself. The following actions will eliminate this incident from recurring:
1. Ensure the tyre can be safely carried by the fork-lift
2. If not fully supported by the fork-lift tynes, the tyre needs to be restrained securely using appropriate tie-downs so it cannot move
3. Drive according to conditions, if the tyre obstructs the drivers view, then operate the fork-lift in reverse
4. If there are any doubts, stop and seek assistance from your supervisor
