Are you looking for a job as a driver of a forklift? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training provides instruction in types of forklifts, pre-shift inspection, fuel types and handling of fuels, and safe operation of a forklift. Practical, hands-on training helps individuals participating in acquiring basic operational skills. Course content consists of existing rules governing the operation of forklifts. Our proven forklift courses are designed to provide training on these types of trucks: powered pallet truck, narrow isle forklift and counterbalanced forklift.

Do not raise or lower the fork when the lift truck is traveling. A load must not extend above the backrest because of the risk of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Inspect for overhead obstructions and make sure there is sufficient clearance prior to lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is raised straight up, tilt it slightly back.

While the load is raised the forklift would be less stable. Make certain that no pedestrians cross underneath the elevated fork. The operator should not leave the forklift while the load is raised.

While handling pallets, forks should be high and level enough to go into the pallet and extend all the way underneath the load. The width of the forks should provide equal weight distribution.

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