Forklift

Forklift overview

Forklifts work close to people, racking and stacked loads, so small defects quickly become serious incidents. Participants learn the daily pre-operational check that confirms a forklift is safe to drive and lift with.

Inspection & pre-operational training topics

  1. Forks, fork heel and carriage – wear, cracks and locking pins
  2. Mast, lift chains and hydraulic cylinders
  3. Tyres, wheels and overhead guard
  4. Brakes, steering, horn, lights and reversing alarm
  5. Fuel, battery or gas system checks
  6. Seat belt and operator controls
  7. Recording the check and reporting defects
