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

If you are searching for work as a forklift operator, our regulatory-compliant forklift training Schools offer exceptional instruction in numerous types and styles of forklifts, classes on pre-shift inspection, fuel kinds and handling of fuels, and safe use of a lift truck. Practical, hands-on training helps participants in acquiring essential operational skills. Course content covers existing rules governing the operation of lift trucks. Our proven forklift Schools are intended to provide training on these kinds of trucks: powered pallet truck, narrow isle forklift and counterbalanced forklift.

Do not lower or raise the fork while the forklift is traveling. A load must not extend over the backrest due to the danger of the load sliding back toward the operator. Inspect for overhead obstructions and ensure there is plenty of clearance prior to lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is lifted straight up, tilt it slightly back.

The lift truck is less steady if a load is in a raised position. Make sure that no body ever walks underneath the elevated fork. The operator must not leave the lift truck while the load is lifted.

The forks should be level when handling pallets, and high enough to extend all the way into and below the load. The width of the forks should provide equal weight distribution.

Set the brakes and chock the wheels prior to loading and unloading the truck. The floors must be strong enough to support the combined weight of the forklift and its load. Fixed jacks can be installed to be able to support a semi-trailer that is not coupled to a tractor. The height of the entrance door should clear the forklift height by a minimum of 5 cm. Edges of docks, rail cars and ramps should be marked and avoid them.
