Barrie Forklift Training Schools - What Are Included In Our Forklift Training Schools

Are you searching for work as a forklift driver? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training provides instruction in kinds of forklifts, pre-shift check, fuel types and handling of fuels, and safe use of a lift truck. Practical, hands-on training helps participants in obtaining fundamental operational skills. Course content comprises existing regulations governing the use of forklifts. Our proven forklift Schools are meant to provide training on these kinds of trucks: narrow isle forklift, counterbalanced forklift and powered pallet truck.

While the forklift is in operation, do not lower or raise the forks. Loads should not extend above the backrest. This is because of the possibility of the load sliding back towards the operator. Check for overhead obstructions and make certain there is adequate clearance before lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is raised straight up, tilt it back slightly.

While the load is raised the lift truck will be less steady. Make certain that no pedestrians cross underneath the elevated fork. The operator should never leave the lift truck while the load is raised.

The forks should be level when handling pallets, and high enough to extend all the way into and beneath the load. The fork's width must provide even distribution of weight.

Before unloading or loading the truck, chock the wheels and set the brakes. Floors need to 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 attached to a tractor. The height of the entrance door must clear the forklift height by a minimum of 5 cm. Mark edges of ramps, docks or rail cars and avoid them.
