Forklift Training Stacking With A Counterbalance Forklift 

Perfect training steps 🌹

Just a tip, if you follow these guidelines you will be sacked for being too slow. I've seen it happen first hand with people who insisted doing it as per the training guidelines of using handbrake etc. You zoom in, hard turn, drop it in the fuckin rack level and back out while barely stopping. Thats the reality. If the rack is high then you're already raising your tynes to the right level as you approach and turn into it.

Even though these are clearly ITSSAR standard training steps, I just hate the fact you're required to engage the handbreak at every stop. It's essentially a useless step as it's something you will realistically never do in an actual working environment. I've worked as a FLT driver for over 2 years now, and the only time I engage the handbreak (or footbreak in my case) is when I stop to get off the truck, as it's just far too time consuming to constantly apply the handbreak at every stop.

I sort of understand the concept of applying the parking brake each time as a training procedure( instilling safety) however a rookie driver is going to find out very quickly that the extra steps are unnecessary AND impractical in the real world. Would it not be better to realistically train them how to operate a forklift in a way that they will actually use once they are out there in the working world? Training them to apply the parking brake for each step is like training someone to operate a car by applying the parking brake every time they stop at a stop light or stop sign, stopping to let a pedestrian cross the street, or when they parallel park. Could you imagine a driver applying the parking brake in every step of a multi move parallel parking procedure? That just does not happen. Train a PIT driver proper safety: Looking before each move, stopping at stop signs, using the safety belt, don't speed, set the parking brake when parking the forklift etc.

So you CAN forklift while pregnant.👍

no one uses ebrake when ur going to stack something, boom that load up line it up backup and ur off. takes way to much time

Slow as shit, you’ll get sacked for that haha you’ll load about 2 lorry’s a day at that speed.
