Here are the steps to use road protection mats for sand lift trucks:

1. Choose the right pad

Material: Choose high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or rubber pads to ensure they are durable and can withstand heavy pressure.

Size: Depending on the size and weight of the lift truck, choose a pad that is large enough to distribute the pressure.+

2. Clear the ground

Level the ground: Make sure the ground is level and remove sharp objects.

Clear debris: Remove objects such as rocks and branches that may damage the pad.

3. Lay the pad

Positioning: Lay the pad under the tires or outriggers of the lift truck.

Overlapping: If multiple pads are required, ensure sufficient overlap to avoid gaps.

4. Adjust the position

Precise placement: Make sure the pad completely covers the stress area and fine-tune the position if necessary.

5. Operate the lift truck

Move slowly: Drive onto the pad slowly and avoid sudden acceleration or braking.

Monitoring: Watch the pad for displacement or damage during operation.

6. Regular inspection

Inspect the pad: Check the pad regularly for wear or damage and replace it in time.

Inspect the ground: Make sure the ground is not sunken or deformed.

7. Recycle the pad

Cleaning: Clean the sand and debris on the pad after use.

Storage: Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Precautions

Avoid overloading: Make sure the pad's load-bearing capacity matches the weight of the lift truck.

Regular maintenance: Check the pad's condition regularly and replace damaged parts in time.

The above steps can effectively protect the road surface and ensure the safe operation of the lift truck.
