Vernon Forklift Training Schools - Forklift Training Schools - For The Wellbeing Of Your Workers

Are you looking for a job as a forklift driver? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training offers instruction in types of lift trucks, pre-shift check, fuel kinds and handling of fuels, and safe utilization of a lift truck. Practical, hands-on training assists participants in obtaining basic operational skills. Program content covers existing rules governing the operation of forklifts. Our proven forklift courses are intended to offer training on these kinds of trucks: powered pallet truck, narrow isle forklift and counterbalanced forklift.

While the lift truck is in operation, do not raise or lower the forks. Loads must not extend above the backrest. This is because of the risk of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Inspect for overhead obstacles and make certain there is adequate clearance before raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is raised straight up, tilt it back slightly.

The lift truck is less steady when a load is in a raised position. Make certain that no one ever walks below the elevated fork. The operator must never leave the lift truck when the load is lifted.

The forks should be level when handling pallets, and high enough to extend all the way into and beneath the load. The width of the forks should provide even distribution of weight.

Prior to unloading or loading the truck, chock the wheels and set the brakes. Floors have to be strong enough to support the weight of the forklift and the load combined. Fixed jacks can be installed in order to support a semi-trailer that is not coupled to a tractor. The height of the entrance door should clear the forklift height by at least 5 cm. Mark edges of rail cars, ramps or docks and avoid them.
