Forklift Spotter






A forklift spotter, while on the ground, helps the forklift operator navigate safely. Forklift spotters are typically used when the forklift operator does not have full view of the working area, the path of travel, and potential hazards along the travel route. This topic reviews positioning, hand signals, blind spots, visibility, and the responsibilities of both the spotter and the forklift operator.
