Mississauga Forklift Training Schools - Know How To Use A Forklift Properly With Our Forklift Training Schools

Are you looking for work as a driver of a forklift? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training offers instruction in kinds of forklifts, pre-shift inspection, fuel types and handling of fuels, and safe utilization of a lift truck. Practical, hands-on training assists those participating in acquiring fundamental operational skills. Course content comprises current regulations governing the use of lift trucks. Our proven forklift courses are meant to offer training on these kinds of trucks: narrow isle forklift, counterbalanced forklift and powered pallet truck.

Do not raise or lower the fork while the forklift is moving. A load should not extend over the backrest because of the possibility of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Check for overhead obstacles and make certain there is adequate clearance before raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is raised straight up, tilt it slightly back.

The lift truck is less stable if a load is in a raised position. Make sure that no one ever walks under the elevated fork. The operator should never leave the forklift when the load is lifted.

The forks should 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 unloading or loading the truck, set the brakes and chock the wheels. Floors should be strong enough to support the weight of the load and the forklift combined. Fixed jacks can be installed in order 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. Edges of ramps, docks and rail cars should be marked and avoid them.
