Forklift Training Schools Kelowna - Forklift Training Schools

Are you looking for work as a forklift driver? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training provides instruction in types of lift trucks, pre-shift check, fuel types and handling of fuels, and safe use of a lift truck. Hands-on, practical training assists participants in acquiring basic operational skills. Course content includes current rules governing the use of lift trucks. Our proven forklift courses are designed to offer training on these kinds of trucks: narrow isle forklift, counterbalanced forklift and powered pallet truck.

Do not raise or lower the fork whilst the lift truck is traveling. A load must not extend higher than the backrest because of the danger of the load sliding back toward the operator. Check for overhead obstructions and make certain there is plenty of clearance before lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is lifted straight up, tilt it back slightly.

When the load is lifted the forklift will be less steady. Make certain that no pedestrians cross underneath the elevated fork. The operator should not leave the lift truck when the load is lifted.

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

Before 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 can be installed to support a semi-trailer which is not attached to a tractor. The height of the entrance door should clear the forklift height by at least 5 cm. Mark edges of rail cars, ramps or docks and avoid them.
