Guelph Forklift Training Schools - Learn How To Operate A Forklift Properly With Our Forklift Training Schools

If you are looking for work as a forklift operator, our regulatory-compliant lift truck training Schools provide exceptional instruction in many types and styles of forklifts, lessons on pre-shift inspection, fuel types and dealing with fuels, and safe utilization of a lift truck. Hands-on, practical training assists people participating in obtaining fundamental operational skills. Course content includes existing rules governing the operation of forklifts. Our proven forklift courses are meant to offer training on these types of trucks: powered pallet truck, narrow isle forklift and counterbalanced forklift.

While the lift truck is in operation, do not lower or raise the forks. Loads should not extend higher than the backrest. This is because of the possibility of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Check for overhead obstructions and make sure there is enough clearance before lifting a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. Once the load is raised straight up, tilt it slightly back.

The lift truck is less stable when a load is in a raised position. Make certain that no body ever walks under the elevated fork. The operator must not leave the lift truck while the load is lifted.

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

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 support a semi-trailer which is not coupled to a tractor. The entrance door height should clear the forklift height by at least 5 cm. Mark edges of rail cars, ramps or docks and avoid them.
