Our proven forklift courses are designed to offer training on these types of trucks: powered pallet truck, narrow isle forklift and counterbalanced forklift.

Do not raise or lower the fork while the lift truck is moving. A load should not extend above the backrest because of the possibility of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Check for overhead obstacles and make sure there is sufficient clearance prior to lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is lifted straight up, tilt it back slightly.

The lift truck is less steady if a load is in a raised position. Make certain that no one ever walks under the elevated fork. The operator should not leave the forklift while the load is lifted.

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

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