Toronto Forklift Training Schools

Toronto Forklift Training Schools - What Our Forklift Training Prgrams Could Offer Your Company

Are you searching for a job as a driver of a forklift? Our regulatory-compliant mobile equipment operator training provides instruction in types of lift trucks, pre-shift inspection, fuel types and dealing with fuels, and safe use of a forklift. Practical, hands-on training assists participants in obtaining basic operational skills. Program content includes current rules governing the use of lift trucks. Our proven forklift Schools are designed 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 moving. A load must not extend higher than the backrest due to the danger of the load sliding back toward the operator. Inspect for overhead obstructions and make sure there is enough clearance prior to raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is lifted straight up, tilt it slightly back.

The lift truck is less stable if a load is in a raised position. Make sure that no one ever walks beneath the elevated fork. The operator should never 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 even distribution of weight.

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