Port Coquitlam Forklift Training Schools - What Are Covered In Our Forklift Training Schools

Are you looking for a job as a driver of a forklift? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training provides instruction in types of forklifts, pre-shift check, fuel types and handling of fuels, and safe use of a lift truck. Practical, hands-on training helps those participating in obtaining essential operational skills. Program content comprises current regulations governing the utilization of lift trucks. Our proven forklift Schools are designed to provide training on these types of trucks: counterbalanced forklift, powered pallet trucks and narrow isle forklift.

Whilst the lift truck is in use, do not raise or lower the forks. Loads should not extend higher than the backrest. This is due to the risk of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Check for overhead obstacles and make certain there is enough clearance prior to raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is lifted straight up, tilt it slightly back.

When the load is raised the lift truck would be less steady. Make certain that no pedestrians cross below the elevated fork. The operator should never leave the lift truck when the load is lifted.

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

Prior to unloading or loading 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 can be installed to be able 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 rail cars, ramps or docks and avoid them.
