Kelowna Forklift Training Schools - The Advantages Of Taking One Of Our Forklift Training Schools

If you are searching for a job as a forklift operator, our regulatory-compliant lift truck training Schools offer excellent instruction in various styles and types of forklifts, lessons on pre-shift inspection, fuel types and handling of fuels, and safe utilization of a forklift. Practical, hands-on training helps participants in obtaining basic operational skills. Course content includes existing rules governing the utilization of forklifts. Our proven forklift Schools are intended to offer training on these types of trucks: narrow isle forklift, counterbalanced forklift and powered pallet truck.

Do not raise or lower the fork while the lift truck is traveling. A load should not extend over the backrest due to the risk of the load sliding back toward the operator. Inspect for overhead obstacles and make sure there is adequate clearance prior to raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is raised straight up, tilt it back slightly.

When the load is raised the forklift will be less steady. Make certain that no pedestrians cross below the elevated fork. The operator must never leave the forklift when the load is lifted.

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

Prior to unloading or loading the truck, set the brakes and chock the wheels. Floors need to be strong enough to support the weight of the load and the forklift combined. Fixed jacks can be installed to support a semi-trailer that is not attached to a tractor. The height of the entrance door must clear the height of the forklift by a minimum of 5 cm. Edges of ramps, docks and rail cars must be marked and avoid them.
