Grande Prairie Forklift Training Schools - Learn How To Utilize A Forklift Properly With Our Forklift Training Schools

If you are looking for a job as a forklift operator, our regulatory-compliant forklift training Schools provide excellent instruction in many styles and types of lift trucks, classes on pre-shift inspection, fuel types and handling of fuels, and safe use of a lift truck. Practical, hands-on training helps participants in acquiring fundamental operational skills. Program content includes current regulations governing the operation of lift trucks. Our proven forklift courses are designed to offer training on these types of trucks: counterbalanced forklift, powered pallet trucks and narrow isle forklift.

When the forklift is in operation, do not raise or lower the forks. Loads should not extend above the backrest. This is because of the possibility of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Inspect for overhead obstructions and make sure there is enough clearance before raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is raised straight up, tilt it back slightly.

When the load is raised the forklift would be less steady. Make sure that no pedestrians cross beneath the elevated fork. The operator should never leave the forklift when 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 width of the forks must provide even weight distribution.

Prior to loading or unloading the truck, set the brakes and chock the wheels. Floors have to be strong enough to support the weight of the load and the forklift 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.
