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.

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......

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.

Being a newly forklift operator its good for me that there are like this for me to know more kinds of forklift to be operated,thanks .

I’m about to be trained in an hour so I wanted a head start 😃 thank you for this video

I was looking for many that type of videos and this one I can say is the best. Clearly explained everything. Thank you ❤

The best forklift video for beginners hands down da goat😂 🐐

Easily the best forklift instructional video I've yet seen. You hit all the essential points and do it while speaking clearly without alot of ambient noise or with pointless irritating background music distracting from the subject at hand. The HD multiple camera angles are also excellent. Very impressive work here.

The instructor explained it in a really nice and easy way, a good thumbs up to this channel :)

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

Thanks very much! Such a useful video, really well done and explained!

Thanks for the video. Stay awesome.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

You make it all look easy. Your right when you say always do your checks beforehand

I got a lot with this video. Thank you so much sir.

Thank you sir for video, I learn a lot things with this video, congrats !

Yes best one and thank you 🙏 I’m starting in the morning on how to drive one and your channel is the only one with actual what to do in it not just driving a forklift 😂

Thanks Bro !! It’s will help me a lot !! Thank you !!

Thanks for the video from Italy

Thanks bro this really helped!

Wow!! You are a natural at instruction. I already feel more at ease as a new forklift driver. Where were you when I was learning to drive a car??

bro i love your videos great work u doing god bless you

This helps as ik dojnf my training this week

Thank you sir. It was a nice one

Great video! I feel confident now. Thank u

Thank you for sharing ur knowledge

Well done sir. Thnx

Great trainer

Great job mr

Thank you, fabulous

Best instructor

Good job Thanks

Good and important tips for me as a beginner ✋✋✋

Awesome video.. thank you.

We still use standard Forklift at my warehouse,they work great and pretty comfy on night shift compared to the stand up.

Thanks for the vedio

The good with machine that it is very useful and you makes most of it. 👌

He explains it better than the manuals

Best teacher

Go job. Excellent instruction. Watched your other tutorials on dozers and excavators. Thank you very much looking forward to see more. In Jesus name we pray amen.

GOAT VIDEO🔥🔥🔥 I appreciate u

thank you

Thank you 🙏

I got a interview tomorrow hope I get it

Tank you sir

On a gas lift with three foot pedals I use the center pedal 90% of the time(activates the clutch). You have to drive two footed unlike a car. Both feet are always touching a pedal.

Great thank you

really amazing channel

When I was training for forklift, the machine we used had a 4th lever to adjust the width between the forks, instead of the manual pins that are commonly used.

Nice video

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.

a proper reading of capacity is not just a weight as you said. to state capacity you need a weight , a description of the load that weighs that much and a height that you can lift that shaped and weight load up to.

Thanks for doing this…

thankyou

Great video, people get more complacent with forklifts than any other piece of equipment as there are more accidents and injuries involving them than anything else according to OSHA . I believe only forklifts require a mandated safety course for this reason . I have my license to operate up to a 4k myself.

All the best

I need more lessons for turning, And revisiting

Free range of motion I like that, so they must not feel stuck or to hard right, soft up and down soft and ready! 🤭

Maybe try and incorporate a 90 degree turn through the cones. Get them used to hearing about the 3 critical points

Question, I'm new driver and am having a problem gauging the space between the bottom front left side and any items behind it, therefore bumping things when having to drive forward, loading, Any suggestions?

Can you do a How To Operate a Backhoe video please. Great content!

You're always trained on a electric forklift here ,when you finally go to your job that involves a diesel truck you have to relearn especially the speed and the fact it moves on its own ,pro tip to people who learn on an electric you will pick up a bad habit because of the electric truck just stopping if you take your foot off the accelerator, learn to use the break whilst training if you want to use a diesel truck

Thanks for the training 😎 I’m making a million bucks a year now 😂😂❤️💯💯

Nice

Honestly after the basics of motion and physics, you just have to practice and know your machine. Forklifts vary sooooo much from model to model.

Side shift would be 4 lever also?

you mentioned putting forks on the ground when done but as you finish and walk away you leave yours forks off the ground! You have done a much better job than most doing videos but you should really fine tune what you are doing.

I am currently training, my test is in 2 days I thought he would have mentioned any center of gravity issues? Anyway my Biggest problem is my heavy right foot..

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.

What is the max hight will be in test.

I love to be a forklift driver.

If you go full lock right or left is it 2 and a half turns to go back straight?

Hi, I live in Manchester and I need the 360 excavator operator training please. Where is your location and your addreas please

Do my forklift training tomorrow I’m nervous as hell 😅

Can I have any contact from Southampton about forklift training skills.

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.

Our one training on today is ancient an basic compared to this one with LED display an mirrors

❤❤

Please I am one of the forklift operator and I want to work in any company as an operator, please if you can help me get one, reply me

Some genius decided to buy a bunch of those for a trucking company in a building built in 60's . Every bump was a punch to to back. Would rather use a pump truck!!!

Anyone here ever drove an Army V-Reach? Ammo Dawgs lead the way!

You didn't tilt the forks durino parking

Always operate a sit down truck with both feet ...

My girlfriend told me she won't marry a man who isn't forklift certified, so here I am.
