Forklift Training Schools British Columbia - What Are Included In Our Forklift Training Schools

If you are searching for work as a forklift operator, our regulatory-compliant forklift training Schools provide excellent instruction in numerous types and styles of forklifts, classes on pre-shift check, fuel kinds and dealing with fuels, and safe operation of a forklift. Practical, hands-on training assists participants in acquiring basic operational skills. Program content comprises existing regulations governing the use of forklifts. Our proven forklift Schools are intended to provide training on these types of trucks: narrow isle forklift, counterbalanced forklift and powered pallet truck.

Do not lower or raise the fork whilst the lift truck is moving. A load must not extend higher than the backrest due to the possibility of the load sliding back toward the operator. Inspect for overhead obstacles and make certain there is enough clearance prior to raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is raised straight up, tilt it back slightly.

When the load is raised the forklift will be less stable. Make certain that no pedestrians cross below the elevated fork. The operator should not 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 under the load. The fork's width should provide even distribution of weight.

Set the brakes and chock the wheels before unloading and loading the truck. The floors must 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 that is not coupled to a tractor. The entrance door height must clear the height of the forklift by a minimum of 5 cm. Mark edges of ramps, docks or rail cars and avoid them.
