The “carriage” is what attaches to the “mast” and the pallet should be against the “lower backrest” (aka, the “LBR”). As a guy that actually installs those parts on Hyster trucks for a living, I give your training a solid A+ and appreciate you providing the information to those that need and/or want it. You’re actually helping folks, so keep it up! 💯
Thanks man about to take my test after my lunch break and super nervous but I’ve been driving a lift for a while now but I really need this job pray for me family
I'm experienced with a forklift but was never certified until today. And it was really simple 15 minutes not including my the written part which I did in early January. In a room roughly 20 ft x 20 ft, with a steel pole in the center, she made me do the check list, lights, mast, fire extinguisher, etc, etc, etc, then she made me get in, pick up a pallet, back around in a circle around that steel pole until I was in my starting position. Then she made me pick up the pallet again, back out and turn to place the same pallet on on upper level. She told the only way I could fail is if I damaged property, or people. Which I didn't. Certified. It's pretty easy actually. Forklifts are easy to operate. I used to need to load 4 of my own pallets onto a 1 ton cude truck inna warehouse, with minimal space between the back of the tuck and whatever was behind. 5 feet space, ouch ng the first to skids up towards the nose of the truck with 3 and 4 pallets. I had to learn. I remember getting into a heated yelling match with my manager about 15 years ago about that. I asked him if he could load my truck for me, he was good on the forklift. I was not certified. He told me to do it myself. I lost it on him. "F*** YOU! I AM NOT CERTIFIED TO USE THAT THING! I HAVE NEVER EVEN DRIVEN IT! WTF!?" I lost it on him in the warehouse in front of everyone and this is a big guy. He could pick me up and throw me through a wall I he wanted. He gets freaked out. I remember him recently, 2017, we got into it for her something he come over to me and grabbed a hold of me almost I'm a big to restrain me because he wasn't sure if I was gonna lose it on him. I think me exploding humbled him. I look crazy when I'm that angry spit flying out of my mouth, barking yelling, truely angry, not a show. I honestly believe it scary to him because he didn't know if I was going to lose it and attack him, I was already super stressed. It was a winter day, storming and I am going a long distance with a lot of stops. I lost it on him, he points towards the office where the boss resides and says "that's who you talk to about certification..." And his tone, I knew I humbled him because I was mad. I was p***ed, but I also had to show him up, so I learned to do it. Without certification. I hadn't driven one in 15 years until this newest place and it felt second nature to me.
Just found out what all I needed to do to pass my test in 2 days. This video just made me more confident in my knowledge. I've never tested for this, always hopped on, moved a load, then hop off. Now I see how important it is to know all the stuff you covered. This a valid ass video, thank you
Thanks man I really appreciate it I have a forklift test tomorrow. I was glad I could come online and make sure I had a heads up things. Thank you much 👍🏿
I just started driving a lift for the first time ever back in June. I've gotten a lot better at it, but I'm still a beginner. My test was really bad. It was just pick up a pallet of parts, drive it about 50 feet in one direction, and then drive back and put it back down. And then I was certified. Even though their test was not thorough enough thankfully I'm a fast learner and I can drive it decently enough to where I won't cause any issues.
I have been driving forklifts for over 15 years. I took a break from working to go back to college for a few years because of the pandemic, and so I became rusty and lost my confidence. These videos are phenomenal, and have really brought me back to my old self. Thanks buddy!
Thank for the teaching us how to do forklift I really learned a lot. May The Lord Jesus Christ who died for the forgiveness of our sins on cross was buried and resurrected from the dead the 3rd day be with you forever.
Thanks Joe, we appreciate your work. Could you please make a video about the mandatory driver's clothing, and how to change the gas bottle. Thank you.❤
I’m thinking about getting my forklift license and just found ur channel and have learned a lot. Thank you for all the education u give and any advice ? U just earned a sub brother
@@dennisddiamond854 I hope you know how to use google "They are both past tense forms of the verb 'learn', and are used to indicate that someone has acquired knowledge or a skill through study or experience. However, learnt is the more common spelling in British English, while learned is more commonly used in American English"
Do you keep the load tilted after you tilt it to get it off the rack ? And when you pick it up at a lower level are you obligated to tilt it ? And keep it tilt or do you un-tilt it after you Titled to pick it up after
These lifts can pick up pretty much pick up about 3,000 pounds with weight directed on forks. I rarely lift anything that heavy so I don’t check weight
On the theory test, do i write down what we answer I can remember of my head or is it multiple answer questions, where I am able to circle all the answers I think is right?
Man thank you so much for the great , detailed Forklift Video Sir - I am looking into becoming a certified Forklift Driver in 2024 and this video helps out immensely #PICKITUPLIFTITDOWN
If you’re moving a pallet of stuff off the high shelf are you allowed to get out and make sure you have enough clearance to lower it or does that make you fail?
