Forklift Training Schools Saskatchewan - What Are Covered In Our Forklift Training Schools

Are you searching for work as a forklift driver? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training offers instruction in kinds of forklifts, pre-shift inspection, fuel kinds and dealing with fuels, and safe utilization of a forklift. Hands-on, practical training assists people participating in obtaining essential operational skills. Program content consists of current rules governing the operation of lift trucks. Our proven forklift courses are intended to provide training on these types of trucks: powered pallet truck, narrow isle forklift and counterbalanced forklift.

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

While the load is lifted the forklift would be less stable. Make sure that no pedestrians cross below the elevated fork. The operator must never leave the forklift while the load is lifted.

While handling pallets, forks should be level and high enough to go into the pallet and extend all the way under the load. The width of the forks must provide even distribution of weight.

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