When approaching an intersection with a stacker, what should the operator do?

When approaching an intersection with a stacker, the operator must prioritize safety and ensure that the path is clear before proceeding. Honking the horn serves as a warning to alert other pedestrians or equipment operators of your presence, enhancing the safety of both yourself and others in the vicinity. Stopping allows the operator to assess the situation thoroughly for any potential hazards, traffic, or pedestrians that may not be immediately visible.

This practice of stopping and signaling shows a responsible approach to operating heavy machinery, reducing the likelihood of collisions or accidents at intersections where visibility may be limited or where there is a higher chance of encountering other traffic. Other choices may involve proceeding without adequate caution, which could pose a significant risk in a busy workplace environment. Therefore, stopping and honking the horn ensures that any potential dangers are addressed before moving on.
