叉车的构造应使驾驶员能清楚地看到行驶路线以及叉车或货物。
可见性可以通过多种方式提高：
a）在叉车中：
•使用合适的桅杆结构
•驾驶员座椅的位置（驾驶员站立位置，驾驶员舱）
•驾驶室的位置，以提供最佳的行驶路线，负载和负载处理方式的视野。
•允许驾驶室旋转的功能，以便驾驶员在前进或后退时都可以看到行驶方向。
•驾驶室或驾驶台的结构
•通过以下方式提高了对高负荷行驶路径的了解：
•安装雨刮器和车窗除冰控件，以使驾驶员的视野不受天气条件的限制。
-可以在提升门架的侧面上-以便驾驶员可以越过门架的侧面看--可以抬高以便驾驶员可以在门架上方看-可以越过以便驾驶员可以看向货物的侧面-或旋转座位，以便驾驶员可以将重物保持在身后。
b）在大容量起重卡车中，用于运输较大或不规则的货物。
-可移动的驾驶室，可以侧向移动-或在举升时随载荷升高。
-安装双重控制装置，使驾驶员可以在两个控制装置之间旋转，并在前进或后退时具有良好的视野。
-四周窗户-透明地板透明屋顶。
-安装合适的镜子-在驾驶室中安装带屏幕的录像机-侧面可移动的驾驶室。
Forklift Trucks should be constructed in a way that the driver has clear view of the travel path as well as the forks or the load.
The visibility can be increased by various means:
a) in forklift trucks:
• Using suitable mast constructions
• Location of the drivers seat (drivers standing location, drivers cabin)
- either on the side of the lift mast - so that the driver can see past the side of the mast - or elevated so that the driver can look above the mast - or across so that driver can look alongside of the load - or with rotating seat so that the driver can keep the load behind him.
b) in high capacity lift trucks for the transport of large or irregular loads.
• Location of the driver cabin to offer best possible visibility over travel path, load and load handling means.
- Moveable drivers cabin which can either move sideways - or elevates with the loads while lifting.
• Provisions for the drivers cabin to rotate so that driver can see in the direction of travel either when driving forward or in reverse.
- Installation of dual controls so that driver can swivel between the two of them and has good visibility while traveling forward or reverse.
• Construction of the drivers cabin or the drivers stand
- windows all around - transparent floor transparent roof.
• Increased visibility with view upon the path of travel with elevated loads by:
- installation of suitable mirrors - installation of video recorders with screens in the drivers cabin - sideways movable drivers cabin.
• Installation of windshield wipers and window de-icing controls so that the drivers view is not limited by weather conditions.
