Forklift Training Schools Vancouver - What Could People Learn From Our Forklift Training Schools

Are you searching for a job as a forklift driver? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training offers instruction in kinds of forklifts, pre-shift inspection, fuel kinds and handling of fuels, and safe use of a lift truck. Practical, hands-on training helps participants in obtaining fundamental operational skills. Program content consists of current regulations governing the utilization of forklifts. Our proven forklift courses are meant to provide training on these types of trucks: counterbalanced forklift, powered pallet trucks and narrow isle forklift.

While the forklift is in operation, do not raise or lower the forks. Loads must not extend above the backrest. This is because of the possibility of the load sliding back towards the operator. Check for overhead obstacles and ensure there is plenty of clearance prior to raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is lifted straight up, tilt it slightly back.

The lift truck is less stable if a load is in a raised position. Ensure that no body ever walks under the elevated fork. The operator should not leave the forklift when the load is raised.

When handling pallets, forks should be level and high enough to go into the pallet and extend all the way below the load. The fork's width should provide even weight distribution.

Chock the wheels and set the brakes prior to loading and unloading the truck. The floors should be strong enough to support the weight of both the forklift and its load. Fixed jacks could be installed in order to support a semi-trailer which is not coupled to a tractor. The height of the entrance door should clear the forklift height by at least 5 cm. Edges of ramps, docks and rail cars should be marked and avoid them.
