Kingston Forklift Training Schools - Forklift Training Schools - For The Protection Of Your Employees

Are you searching for a job as a driver of a forklift? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training provides instruction in kinds of lift trucks, pre-shift inspection, fuel types and dealing with fuels, and safe operation of a lift truck. Practical, hands-on training assists individuals participating in obtaining fundamental operational skills. Program content consists of current regulations governing the operation of forklifts. Our proven forklift Schools are intended to provide training on these kinds of trucks: narrow isle forklift, counterbalanced forklift and powered pallet truck.

Whilst the lift truck is in operation, do not raise or lower the forks. Loads should not extend above the backrest. This is due to the danger of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Check for overhead obstructions and ensure there is enough clearance prior to raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is lifted straight up, tilt it slightly back.

The lift truck is less steady when a load is in a raised position. Make certain that no one ever walks under the elevated fork. The operator must never leave the lift truck when the load is raised.

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 must provide equal distribution of weight.

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