Forklift Training Schools Peoria - Forklift Training Schools - The Best Way To Have A Safe And Efficient Work Area

Are you looking for work as a driver of a forklift? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training provides instruction in kinds of lift trucks, pre-shift inspection, fuel kinds and dealing with fuels, and safe operation of a lift truck. Hands-on, practical training helps those participating in obtaining fundamental operational skills. Program content covers current rules governing the utilization of lift trucks. Our proven forklift Schools are meant to provide training on these kinds of trucks: counterbalanced forklift, powered pallet trucks and narrow isle forklift.

When the forklift is in operation, do not raise or lower the forks. Loads must not extend over the backrest. This is because of the danger of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Inspect for overhead obstructions and ensure there is enough clearance prior to raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is raised straight up, tilt it back slightly.

The lift truck is less stable when a load is in a raised position. Ensure that no one ever walks below the elevated fork. The operator should not leave the forklift when the load is raised.

While 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 equal weight distribution.

Chock the wheels and set the brakes before loading and unloading the truck. The floors should 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 attached to a tractor. The entrance door height should clear the height of the forklift by at least 5 cm. Mark edges of docks, rail cars or ramps and avoid them.
