Safety checklist: before, during, and after every lift

Safety is the job. This checklist covers RackLift® device lifts and cabinet movers at every stage. It does not replace the operator’s manual.

Before

1. 01Inspect the unit for damage, bent parts, loose hardware, worn straps, and caster condition.
2. 02Confirm the load is under the rating for that model and that it is balanced and secured.
3. 03Clear the path. Check floor condition; no cracks, oil, or missing tiles.
4. 04PPE: steel-toe shoes, gloves, eye protection as the site requires.
5. 05Review the procedure for this SKU. Charge electric models; confirm the status light.

During

1. 01Stay with the controls. Auto-lock is not an invitation to walk away.
2. 02Watch stability. Stop if the load walks.
3. 03Keep people out from under a raised load. No riding the unit.
4. 04Use both cabinet units. Never lift one end only.
5. 05Move at walking speed. The aisle is not a racetrack.

After

1. 01Lower fully before unstrapping.
2. 02Store on charge if the unit is battery-electric.
3. 03Report winch slip, caster damage, or a bent shoe before the next job.
4. 04Note anything unusual in the site log.
