Forklift Training Schools Calgary - Learn How To Use A Forklift Correctly With Our Forklift Training Schools

Are you looking for work as a forklift driver? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training provides instruction in kinds of forklifts, pre-shift check, fuel kinds and handling of fuels, and safe operation of a forklift. Practical, hands-on training helps participants in acquiring basic operational skills. Course content consists of existing regulations governing the operation of forklifts. 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 lift truck is traveling. A load should not extend above the backrest because of the possibility of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Inspect for overhead obstructions and ensure there is adequate clearance prior to raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is lifted straight up, tilt it slightly back.

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

When handling pallets, forks should be level and high enough to go into the pallet and extend all the way below the load. The width of the forks should provide even 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 load and the forklift. Fixed jacks can be installed to be able to support a semi-trailer that is not attached to a tractor. The entrance door height must clear the forklift height by at least 5 cm. Mark edges of docks, rail cars or ramps and avoid them.
