Are you searching for a job as a forklift driver? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training offers instruction in types of lift trucks, pre-shift inspection, fuel kinds and handling of fuels, and safe use of a lift truck. Practical, hands-on training helps participants in acquiring essential operational skills. Course content comprises current rules governing the use of lift trucks. Our proven forklift courses are intended to offer training on these types of trucks: powered pallet truck, narrow isle forklift and counterbalanced forklift.

Do not lower or raise the fork while the lift truck is traveling. A load should not extend over the backrest because of the danger of the load sliding back toward the operator. Check for overhead obstructions and ensure there is sufficient clearance prior to lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is lifted straight up, tilt it back slightly.

When the load is raised the lift truck will be less steady. Make certain that no pedestrians cross under the elevated fork. The operator must not leave the forklift while the load is raised.

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

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 can be installed in order to support a semi-trailer that is not coupled to a tractor. The entrance door height should clear the height of the forklift by a minimum of 5 cm. Mark edges of rail cars, ramps or docks and avoid them.
