Victoria Forklift Training Schools - Forklift Training Schools - The Very Best Alternative To Have A Safe And Efficient Work Place

If you are looking for work as an operator of a forklift, our regulatory-compliant lift truck training Schools provide exceptional instruction in various styles and types of lift trucks, lessons on pre-shift check, fuel types and dealing with fuels, and safe operation of a forklift. Practical, hands-on training assists participants in acquiring basic operational skills. Program content consists of existing regulations governing the operation of lift trucks. Our proven forklift Schools are intended to offer training on these types of trucks: counterbalanced forklift, powered pallet trucks and narrow isle forklift.

When the lift truck is in use, do not lower or raise the forks. Loads should not extend over the backrest. This is because of the risk of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Check for overhead obstructions and make sure there is adequate clearance before raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is raised straight up, tilt it slightly back.

While the load is raised the forklift will be less stable. Make certain that no pedestrians cross beneath the elevated fork. The operator should never leave the forklift when the load is raised.

While handling pallets, forks should be level and high enough to go into the pallet and extend all the way under the load. The fork's width should provide equal weight distribution.

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