Kelowna Forklift Training Programs

Kelowna Forklift Training Programs - If you are searching for work as a forklift operator, our regulatory-compliant lift truck training programs offer exceptional instruction in numerous types and styles of forklifts, classes on pre-shift inspection, fuel types and dealing with fuels, and safe operation of a forklift. Practical, hands-on training assists participants in acquiring fundamental operational skills. Course content consists of existing regulations governing the use of forklifts. Our proven forklift programs are meant to offer training on these types of trucks: powered pallet truck, narrow isle forklift and counterbalanced forklift.

How to Safely Handle Loads

Do not raise or lower the fork when the forklift is moving. A load must not extend higher than the backrest because of the risk of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Check for overhead obstacles and ensure there is adequate clearance before raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is raised straight up, tilt it slightly back.

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

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

Chock the wheels and set the brakes before loading and unloading the truck. The floors should be strong enough to support the combined weight of the forklift and its load. Fixed jacks could be installed to be able to support a semi-trailer that is not attached to a tractor. The entrance door height should clear the forklift height by a minimum of 5 cm. Mark edges of rail cars, ramps or docks and avoid them.

Do not stay in a forklift for long periods without proper ventilation. The interior of the truck should be well lighted and free of obstructions, trash and loose objects. Check for holes in the floor. The installation of nonslip material on the floor would help avoid slipping. Clear any obstacles from docks and dockplates and make certain surfaces are not wet or oily.

Never tow or push other vehicles making use of a forklift.
