Forklift Instructor Training

(18 min.) Perhaps one of the most important, yet misunderstood part of any forklift training program is the engineering principles. Unless you have this knowledge, it's difficult to understand some of the safety rules relating to forklift operations and certainly detracts from your ability to make good judgments when lifting odd sized and difficult loads. This program focuses on some basic principles, but they are a very necessary part of professional forklift training and operations.

Topics included in this safety video are: Fulcrum Principle, data plate, load center, center of gravity, three point suspension system, pivot pin, Stability Triangle, Basic Forklift Operating Rules including speeding, riders, raised loads, pedestrians, rear end swing, loading docks, forklift maintenance including checking the water, fuel, oil, hydraulic and transmission, the level of the electrolyte in the batteries, testing the brakes, the heel of the forks, mast, refueling, charging batteries, and radiator coils.

Program comes with a CD-ROM of written materials, including test questions and answers. English title also includes PowerPoint presentation.
