Calgary Forklift Training Schools - Forklift Training Schools

If you are looking for work as a forklift operator, our regulatory-compliant forklift training Schools offer exceptional instruction in various types and styles of lift trucks, 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 consists of existing rules governing the use of lift trucks. Our proven forklift Schools are designed to offer training on these types of trucks: narrow isle forklift, counterbalanced forklift and powered pallet truck.

Whilst the forklift is in use, do not raise or lower the forks. Loads should not extend over the backrest. This is due to the possibility of the load sliding back in the direction of the operator. Check for overhead obstructions and ensure there is sufficient clearance before raising a load. Stay away from overhead power lines. When the load is lifted straight up, tilt it slightly back.

When the load is lifted the forklift would be less stable. Make certain that no pedestrians cross underneath the elevated fork. The operator must not leave the lift truck while the load is raised.

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

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