Book Truck - Safe Operation

Key points for safe operation

  • Place books evenly on the truck to prevent tipping

  • Load books so they will not slip or fall

  • Check that the book truck moves easily

  • Keep book truck close to your body

  • Push book trucks when possible. Pushing is easier on the back than pulling, and prevents truck from catching your heels

  • Push from the ends not the sides

  • Pull book trucks when entering/existing the elevator (when full of books)
