Forklift Training Schools Edmonton - Know How To Utilize A Forklift Correctly With Our Forklift Training Schools

Are you looking for a job as a driver of a forklift? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training offers instruction in types of lift trucks, pre-shift check, fuel kinds and handling of fuels, and safe utilization of a lift truck. Practical, hands-on training helps individuals participating in obtaining basic operational skills. Course content consists of existing rules governing the operation of forklifts. Our proven forklift courses are designed to offer training on these types of trucks: counterbalanced forklift, powered pallet trucks and narrow isle forklift.

Do not lower or raise the fork when the lift truck is traveling. A load must not extend above the backrest because of the possibility of the load sliding back toward the operator. Check for overhead obstructions and ensure there is plenty of clearance before raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is lifted straight up, tilt it slightly back.

When the load is raised the forklift would be less steady. Make sure that no pedestrians cross underneath the elevated fork. The operator should never leave the lift truck 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 fork's width must provide equal weight distribution.

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