How to Use a Forklift

Essential equipment utilized to move and raise different types of supplies and heavy loads are forklifts. This particular material handling equipment is used daily in our society. Forklifts are found everywhere from in warehouses, a building supply business, within storage units and department stores and at airports. When operating a forklift, it is essential to be fully aware of your surroundings so as to be safe.



The first step is to start the forklift by turning the key. Become familiar with the levers located at the right of the steering wheel. These levers are what you would utilize to move a thing from one place to another and also to maneuver the item to where it should be placed.



Secondly, move the forks up and down utilizing the first lever. Pull the lever towards you to move the fork up. In order to move the fork down, push the lever away from you. Unless you are loading or unloading an object, the forks should ideally be kept close to the ground.



Before picking up loads, use the other two levers and practice first. The second lever is used for tilting the forks forwards and backwards. In order to tilt the forks forwards, push the lever away from you. In order to tilt the forks back, pull the levers towards you. These forks could tilt between 15 and 30 degrees.



The next thing to get used of is utilizing the 3rd lever to control the forks movement from the right to left. From side to side, they can move between 6 and 12 inches. The levers move towards where you would like the forks placed.



Once you are familiar, carefully approach the load you wish to pick up. To be able to lower the forks, push the first lever away from your body. Drive forward carefully until the forks slide beneath the load. Slightly lift the load by pulling the lever towards you. If the load feels top heavy, be certain to tilt the forks backwards slightly.



When driving around corners go slow and get into the habit of honking the horn on the steering wheel in order to alert others of the approaching machine. Carefully approach the place where you would be unloading. Utilize the levers to maneuver the load to your final destination.



Stopping the forklift is similar to stopping a car. Slowly step on the brake. It is situated on the left of the accelerator.
