I would like to mention if you are carrying a double stack load, you should always drive backwards so you can see where you're going. Also, when carrying a load up or down a ramp, always have the load on the uphill side. Up means driving forward. Down means driving in reverse.

not even double stack but stack in layers that will not make you see any visibility in the front. like a single stack 14 layers of boxes of fruits single stack 20 layers of boxes for strawberries or 17 layers of pallet.

I'm not a fork lift operator but I have done my test and have a license to operate a fork lift. A fork lift training course will teach a person about safety, centre of gravity and moving with loads. I believe it's a prerequisite for anyone wishing to operate a front end loader. Whilst both machines are vastly different they do share the same safety implications. Further to this, I can tell you that when I was young I reversed a fork lift at high speed backwards through an industrial roller door that wasn't opened high enough. The sound of the boom making contact with heavy duty sheet metal at 20mph was spectacular and it looked like a train wreck. I ripped the whole thing out up 30 feet. It was me who forgot to put the roller door all the way up. A lack of thought for safety and a stupid driving stunt turned into an expensive exercise. It was a large diesel powered fork lift and I was trying to get my fathers attention by going fast in one direction and then slamming it into forward to spin the wheels. I never did get it into Forward gear. Suffice to say, he wasn't impressed. Moral of the story is don't *uck around on fork lifts, think safety and pay attention. I'm now old enough to relay this story to you without being embarrassed. It's pretty funny when I think about it now. Back then I was as white as a ghost......

At first GO SLOW and watch both sides and both ends of lift. Many hours at the wheel and lots of practice gives way to muscle memory and you will find yourself doing things without thinking or over thinking complex maneuvers. Keep in mine your load and its weight and how it can/will affect a moving lift. Good luck

Good introductory video. Get use to the counter balance and get signed off for it before doing actual work on it. ALWAYS do a pre-start check to see everything is safe and secure on the equipment you are about to use. Don't forget if you are new to the forklift look at the load plate to see what the rated capacity is and the safe lifting weight for a STABLE load at the stated load centre for a given height. Forks must extend to at least two thirds of the depth of the pallet. Remember the stability triangle when travelling / turning with a load. As with some lifts, especially machinery or packaging is of different weight and sizes the centre of gravity may be off to one side. Check any labels / documentation for an indication of load centre for fork placement. Also if unfamiliar with the load speak to another operator who has handled similar lifts. A spotter may be necessary.

Very good video. You keep mentioning that the steering is backward when traveling in reverse. It's a difficult concept to explain to a novice, but really it is no different than an automobile or a pick up. The stand up forklifts are the real challenge when it comes to reversing and steering as you know. I noticed there was a hand hold on the overhead guard behind your right shoulder for traveling in reverse. There is a small yellow button on it, which I believe is a horn button. Handy when traveling in high traffic areas. Again, keep all body parts inside the confines of the forklift. Nicely done.

It is different. In a car, you're using both hands to steer. In a forklift, you only use one hand and you're not even grabbing the wheel with that hand. It feels like you've lost an arm and you're left confused which way to steer it. It's not the same. A car is definitely easier because you're not doing different things with each hand. Both hands are used for one thing and that is steering. It's like the difference between automatic and manual car. A manual is harder because each foot is used for a different thing.

Nope and 8 days later one supervisor hit another and he very lucky to be very sore. The guy who hit him got suspended for a week . Should have been fired because he was not supposed to be driving one. Had also predicted a fight and that happened 2 days later !! Fired ? No just another week suspension. Had no issue with 3 day notice that I was done. Getting killed by stupid or getting ass kicked by some unstable hot head not worth it.

One thing important to keep in mind is what is known as the "Stability Triangle" It is an invisible line that runs between the front wheels then back coming to a point at the back wheel or the center of the back axle if it is a four wheeler. The center of that triangle is your center of gravity and the higher you lift something the more that center of gravity moves to one side or the other out of the triangle increasing your chance of tipping the forklift. NEVER turn a forklift with the forks up in the air., keep your forks as low to the ground as possible when driving, generally no higher than a pack of cigarettes( adjust for the type of surface you are driving on) If the forklift does tip over Remember 1) NEVER try to jump clear. 2) plant your feet firmly on the floorboards 3)Grip and lean over the steering wheel 4) Lean away from the direction the forklift is tipping.

@@ovemadsen3357 30 Cm is too high. Here is why, 1. Having forks that high increases the risk of doing damage to product if you should hit something or someone. 2. Going around a corner with a load on your forks that high will increase the chance of the load tipping over. It is best to having the forks just high enough to clear imperfections in the floor, 9 to 10 cm is good, but adjust for the floor you are driving on.

I had a certified forklift instructor advise me to drive two footed like a rally driver and another advise me not to put the parking brake on upon exiting the forklift as the work area was flat and the emergency brake was just a button on the controls I think. I thought those were ignorant comments but hard ones to disprove. The forklifts seem to drift or coast because of the two footed driving of the electric fork lifts. My instructor would have lost about $1000.00 in overtime had he certified me. I don't understand why the manufacturers don't have levels attached to the mast. I found a Milwaukee magnetic pocket level of great assistance in stacking bright cans three pallets high. In addition to the need of a level on the mast I found the fingertip controls poorly designed as there was no kill switch for the thumb which would have assisted in proper placement of my fingers on the controls because once your up three pallets high and mistakenly touch the tilt switch you are blind as to the drag placed on the pallet by the inadvertent tilt.
@richardbeach2430

Always operate a lift with both feet... I started stacking three high in a can warehouse back in the 80's and it was always easy to me because once you learn that when you get the top pallet up there and you get ready to back out give your mast a quick tilt back or forward to see if the mast has a shake to it.. If it doesn't have a little shake or wobble you know you are still attached to the pallet and you need to adjust accordingly ...

one thing I learned operating various size and name brands for over 20 years, you should be confident enough to tell the trainer to give you a minute or two to test out the steering and brake mechanism first before you actually takin off and proceeding to actually operate the vehicle!! it is similar to driving you new car for the first time only difference is you have forks and your rear moves as your front of a car..
