London Forklift Training Programs

London Forklift Training Programs - If you are searching for a job as an operator of a forklift, our regulatory-compliant forklift training programs provide exceptional instruction in many types and styles of lift trucks, classes on pre-shift inspection, fuel types and handling of fuels, and safe utilization of a forklift. Practical, hands-on training helps individuals participating in obtaining essential operational skills. Course content consists of existing regulations governing the operation of forklifts. Our proven forklift programs are meant to provide training on these kinds of trucks: counterbalanced forklift, powered pallet trucks and narrow isle forklift.

How to Handle Loads Safely

When the forklift is in operation, do not lower or raise the forks. Loads must not extend higher than the backrest. This is because of the possibility of the load sliding back towards the operator. Inspect for overhead obstacles and make sure there is sufficient clearance before lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is lifted straight up, tilt it back slightly.

The lift truck is less steady when a load is in a raised position. Make sure that no one ever walks under the elevated fork. The operator should not leave the lift truck while the load is raised.

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

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

Do not stay in a forklift for long periods without proper ventilation. The interior of the truck must be well lighted and free of trash, loose objects and obstructions. Check for holes in the floor. The installation of nonslip material on the floor would help prevent slipping. Clear any obstacles from dockplates and docks and ensure surfaces are not oily or wet.

Lift trucks should not be used to push or tow other forklifts.
