About the course
What this course covers.
This lesson serves as the formal-instruction component of forklift operator training on one specific skill: load handling. It generally precedes hands-on operator training and site-specific training.
It works through evaluating a load to determine the challenges it presents, and the procedures for picking it up, travelling with it, and setting it down under ordinary circumstances.
It closes with the environmental challenges that complicate load handling - high stacks, ramps, loading docks, and trailers.
