Kamloops Forklift Training Schools - Have An Efficient And Safe Work Place With Our Forklift Training Schools

If you are looking for a job as an operator of a forklift, our regulatory-compliant lift truck training Schools provide exceptional instruction in numerous styles and types of forklifts, classes on pre-shift inspection, fuel kinds and handling of fuels, and safe use of a lift truck. Hands-on, practical training helps participants in obtaining fundamental operational skills. Course content consists of current rules governing the use of lift trucks. Our proven forklift Schools are intended to provide training on these types of trucks: counterbalanced forklift, powered pallet trucks and narrow isle forklift.

While the forklift is in use, do not raise or lower the forks. Loads must not extend over the backrest. This is due to the risk of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Inspect for overhead obstacles and make certain there is sufficient clearance prior to 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 steady when a load is in a raised position. Ensure that no body ever walks underneath the elevated fork. The operator should never leave the forklift while the load is raised.

The forks should be level when handling pallets, and high enough to extend all the way into and under the load. The width of the forks should provide equal weight distribution.

Set the brakes and chock the wheels prior to loading and unloading the truck. The floors must be strong enough to support the combined weight of the forklift and its load. Fixed jacks could be installed to be able to support a semi-trailer which is not coupled to a tractor. The entrance door height must clear the forklift height by a minimum of 5 cm. Edges of ramps, docks and rail cars must be marked and avoid them.
