Nanaimo Forklift Training Schools - Forklift Training Schools

If you are searching for work as an operator of a forklift, our regulatory-compliant forklift training Schools offer exceptional instruction in various styles and types of forklifts, lessons on pre-shift check, fuel types and handling of fuels, and safe utilization of a forklift. Hands-on, practical training assists participants in acquiring essential operational skills. Program content includes current regulations governing the operation of lift trucks. Our proven forklift courses are meant to provide training on these types of trucks: counterbalanced forklift, powered pallet trucks and narrow isle forklift.

When the forklift is in use, do not lower or raise 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 certain there is plenty of clearance prior to lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is raised straight up, tilt it slightly back.

The lift truck is less steady when a load is in a raised position. Ensure that no body ever walks underneath the elevated fork. The operator must not leave the forklift when the load is lifted.

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

Chock the wheels and set the brakes prior to unloading and loading the truck. The floors should be strong enough to support the weight of both the load and the forklift. 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 height of the forklift by a minimum of 5 cm. Mark edges of ramps, docks or rail cars and avoid them.
