Forklifts

This program helps forklift operators recognize and assess hazards.  There are various class's of Lift trucks and each class of Lift Truck has its own specifications and guidelines of instruction.  These topics are general in nature to all class's.

If you require a certain class of Lift Truck training, please call for specifics. 

Topics include:

  • Basic hydraulics and pre-operational checks
  • Stability and tipping
  • Capacity and load charts
  • Safe operating and load handling procedures
  • Inspection, maintenance, and log books

A certificate of acheivment, wallet card and record of training will be issued to participants who successfully complete the program and classroom evaluation.

This program does not include a hands-on component. Before operators can be considered competent, they require both supervised hands-on training and experience with the particular class of machine they will be using. (Refer to MOL's Guideline for the Safe Operation and Maintenance of Powered Lift Trucks and CSA Standard B335-94: Industrial Lift Truck Operator Training for detailed requirements.)
