The hazards associated with lift trucks are largely the same as for other vehicles. However, they do have particular vulnerabilities including:
* Loads may not be properly secure
* They are unstable when loads are elevated
* Loads can be dropped
* They can tip over side-ways when cornering at speed
* They can tip forwards if overloaded
* Potential to hit overhead structures, cables etc with mast elevated
* Hazards associated with charging batteries (battery powered trucks)
* Moving mechanisms that can trap
* General issues with engines include hot surfaces
