Burlington Forklift Training Schools - Forklift Training Schools - The Very Best Option To Have An Efficient And Safe Work Area

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

When the lift truck is in use, 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 in the direction of the operator. Check for overhead obstructions and make sure there is plenty of clearance before raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is raised straight up, tilt it slightly back.

The lift truck is less stable when a load is in a raised position. Ensure that no one ever walks below the elevated fork. The operator should never leave the forklift when the load is raised.

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

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