Forklift Training Schools Alberta - What Our Forklift Training Prgrams Can Do For Your Business

If you are searching for work as a forklift operator, our regulatory-compliant forklift training Schools provide excellent instruction in numerous types and styles of lift trucks, lessons on pre-shift inspection, fuel types and dealing with fuels, and safe utilization of a forklift. Practical, hands-on training assists people participating in obtaining essential operational skills. Course content covers existing rules governing the utilization of lift trucks. Our proven forklift courses are meant to provide training on these kinds of trucks: powered pallet truck, narrow isle forklift and counterbalanced forklift.

Whilst the lift truck is in use, do not lower or raise the forks. Loads must not extend above the backrest. This is because of the risk of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Inspect for overhead obstacles and ensure there is enough clearance before lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is raised straight up, tilt it back slightly.

When the load is raised the lift truck will be less steady. Make sure that no pedestrians cross under the elevated fork. The operator must never leave the lift truck when the load is lifted.

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

Before unloading or loading the truck, set the brakes and chock the wheels. Floors must be strong enough to support the weight of the forklift and the load combined. Fixed jacks could 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 at least 5 cm. Mark edges of ramps, docks or rail cars and avoid them.
