When a paper slip sheet breaks while trying to pull a load onto forks, the following steps should be taken:

Stop the forklift: Stop the forklift immediately to prevent any further damage to the load or to the equipment.

Assess the situation: Check the load to see if it is still secure and determine the cause of the paper slip sheet breaking.

Remove the broken paper: Carefully remove the broken slip sheet from the load and the forks.

Replace the slip sheet: If possible, replace the broken slip sheet with a new one or use an alternative method to secure the load, such as shrink wrap or pallet.

Resume operations: Once the load is secure, you can resume the operation, following proper safety procedures and making sure to inspect the equipment regularly to prevent future incidents.

Thank you very much! It seems to me the only logical next step for me is to tender my resignation and start delivering pizzas.... ??

thanks again !

The difficulty with slipsheet usage is that the operator needs to be almost perfectly square on to the sheet so that the clamping operation does not tear the paper.
It really comes down to the operator taking their time to get positioning rather than just grabbing the sheet and pulling.
As for what you do when the sheet breaks and you cannot get any purchase on it....handballing the load tends to be the only answer.
