Equipment Familiarisation

Understanding Industrial Trucks

Different lifting tasks require specific machinery. Operators must understand the operational envelope and limitations of their specific equipment type.

Counterbalance Forklifts

The standard warehouse workhorse. These rely on a heavy rear weight to offset the load on the front forks. Training focuses on maintaining this critical balance.

Reach Trucks

Designed for narrow aisle operations, these trucks feature forks that extend into racking. Operators learn precision mast control and side-stance operating techniques.

Load Capacity & Fork Positioning

Correct fork spacing distributes weight evenly. Operators are educated on reading load capacity data plates to determine maximum safe lifting heights based on load dimensions.
