Operators will be able to:

  • Carry out pre-use checks
  • Mount, dismount and park a truck in a safe place
  • Start and stop a truck
  • Drive forwards and in reverse
  • Steer accurately
  • Use hydraulic controls safely
  • Travel with and without a load
  • Observe the working environment, judge speed, height, width and distance from within the confines of the machine
  • Stack and de-stack at various levels within a racking system, bulk stacking in a safe and competent manner
  • Load and unload vehicles
  • Operate the fork lift truck safely and efficiently
  • Onsite forklift training requirements

    Classroom We will require a classroom for our training sessions. This can be an unoccupied office or room. Work equipment Please ensure that the machine is in good working order and it is safe to use. We will also require manufacturer’s handbook and thorough examination certificate. Practical training area requirements As a guide, smaller trucks of up to 2.5 tonnes’ rated capacity will require an unobstructed manoeuvering area of 12 x 6 metres. Larger trucks will require more space. The area should be equipped with facilities similar to those met during normal operation, including a variety of loads and methods of stacking. It may be inside a building or in the open, and appropriate to the type of truck being used. The availability of cones, drums and other means of providing obstacles for training use would enhance training.
