Red Deer Forklift Training Schools - What Our Forklift Training Prgrams Can Do For Your Company
Are you looking for a job as a driver of a forklift? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training offers instruction in types of forklifts, pre-shift check, fuel kinds and handling of fuels, and safe operation of a forklift. Hands-on, practical training helps participants in obtaining fundamental operational skills. Course content includes current regulations governing the utilization of lift trucks. Our proven forklift Schools are designed to provide training on these types of trucks: powered pallet truck, narrow isle forklift and counterbalanced forklift.
Do not lower or raise the fork when the forklift is moving. A load must not extend above the backrest because of the danger of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Check for overhead obstructions and ensure there is sufficient clearance before lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is raised straight up, tilt it back slightly.
While the load is raised the lift truck will be less steady. Make certain that no pedestrians cross underneath the elevated fork. The operator should not 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 underneath the load. The width of the forks should provide even weight distribution.
Set the brakes and chock the wheels before 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 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 at least 5 cm. Mark edges of docks, rail cars or ramps and avoid them.
