Forklift Truck Training Course
To be given certification as a forklift operator, you need to undergo training on an industrial-powered forklift, or lift truck. The training should be specific to the forklift type and attachments which you will be using on the job site. Training should also reflect the setting wherein you would be working. Forklift safety should be a main concern for both the trainer and the operator trainee.
General Qualifications
Prior to assuming any operator duties, all forklift drivers must undergo both training and certification. Basic credentials for operating a forklift include being at least 18 years old and the physical capacity to safely operate and control the unit.
Pedestrian Safety
The main concern of any forklift driver should be the safety of pedestrians. Pedestrians in the vicinity of the forklift are at risk of death or injury from getting hit by the machine or its attachments. Pedestrians should always have the right of way, and forklift drivers should honk their horns when working near pedestrians or at crosswalks or intersections.
Weather Conditions
Forklift accidents often happen on loading docks. These places become dangerous if rain leaks in through open dock doors making the floor really slippery. Wet floor conditions create a danger and operators must be aware of potential hazards when working in loading dock areas.
Certification
Forklift certification programs consist of a combination of practical training and classroom instruction tailored to the specific requirements of the workplace. Training should be undertaken on the forklift type and attachments which will be utilized by the trainee in the workplace.
Accidents
Each year around 100 people die in forklift accidents. There are 100,000 forklift injuries reported every year. Most of these accidents could be avoided with attention to safety and correct operator training.

Telescopic Forklifts
Telescopic forklift units are equipped with a pronged lift on an arm that extends over the top of the truck providing great height and versatility. The arm, or crane, is known as a telescopic boom. The boom enables the individual using it to lift the cargo to great heights while maintaining a high degree of control. Standard forklifts aren't able to move the load towards and away from the forklift cab, whereas a telescopic forklift allows that movement. The telescopic forklift is normally utilized in agriculture and construction. It is recommended for applications where greater lift and control is required.
In situations requiring high volume carton handling, hydraulic attachments known as forklift carton clamp attachments are recommended. The attachment has arm pads with four way reversible rubber linings which enable the operator to use uniform clamping force when lifting a load. It comes with a backrest which protects the loads from damage.
A slip sheet attachment fits onto a slip sheet forklift. It is used for storing systems that don't use pallets. The attachment clamps onto the slip sheet and pulls it onto the forklift forks. This type of system is handy for overseas shipments and intra-corporate deliveries.
A lift platform that is designed to raise staff is known as a Man Basket. It attaches to the forklift forks and a chain or strap is utilized to attach the basket to the forklift carriage. The platform has railings to protect the workers from falling to the ground. Brackets on the platform are used for fastening the safety harness of the worker.
