How to drive a used forklift?
There are a plethora of used forklifts on the market, and good used forklifts can be purchased very cheaply in the current market conditions. Once a good forklift has been purchased, it is just as important to make sure your employees are operating the forklift safely and correctly. The forklift is one of the most common pieces of machinery used in the work environment, and, in most work environments, is the most dangerous piece of equipment in operation. It is important for the safety of all employees that all forklifts are operated in a safe and proper manner. The first step in operating a forklift safely and properly is to do a pre-operational check. It is extremely important to make sure that the forklift is in good condition and can be operated properly. During the pre-operational check, the operator should inspect the vehicle for any damage that might not allow the forklift to operate properly. Special attention should be paid to the hydraulic mechanism and tire conditions in particular. Next the operator should become familar with the controls, meters, and any other control mechanisms that are needed to operate the forklift. While most forklifts operate in a similar manner, the operator should consult the owner’s manual for instructions on how to operate the particular forklift they are driving. Before attempting to use the forklift, the operator should take note of the mass and shape of the items they will be attempting to lift. The operator should never attempt to lift any item that exceeds the lift rating of the forklift they are operating. The operator should also take care to make sure that the forks are adjusted properly before attempting to lift any item. Before operating the forklift, the driver should inspect the work environment. If the driver observes any unsafe working conditions, the forklift should not be operated. The forklift can then be started, and the operator should practice operating the forklift in an open area prior to operating the forklift in a work environment. The operator should practice lifting empty pallets or other items in order to become familiar with the controls of the forklift. Once the operator is comfortable operating the forklift in the practice area, he/she can then begin to operate the forklift in a work environment.
When should a operator raise or lower a load?
The load should always be kept low whenever the forklift is traveling.
