Think a lot of people are missing the point of the strictness of this video compared to how fast it really is in the workplace… as the old saying goes some rules can be bent but not meant to be broken is a good way of summing it up where common sense is concerned. He’s not wrong in the video as that is proper and correct use of the equipment! You wouldn’t show someone a training vid cutting corners just because your gaffas up your arse lol. Safety is everything and it’s better to know how it’s supposed to be done in the most safest way possible even if it does look like it’s taking the Mickey
Agree. It is way more fast paced, dangerous in most jobs I been too, I seen so many people almost get squished, usually from cell phones or ear buds but more so stupidity. it got so bad they limited the speed on the electric hilos, because the propane hilos went faster. Good thing they reduced the speed, IMO. Too many idiots behind the wheel.
My guy ones you lift the pallet up you tilt the fork back so it doesn't slide forward during a reverse or incase of an emergency when someone or something coming up behind you out of nowhere.
I’m telling you 😂 like always gotta break and neutral whatever he’s saying I’ll be fired bc I’m being expected to boom boom like fast lol this are for beginners and easy way to get fired
@@dunnervibz3397 yeah this way I'll take an entire day to load a trailer, and I can't even line up for the pallet as the aisle is narrow tight, I have to pull it out with one fork diagonally behind one of the pallet's blocks. It's also impossible not to turn with raised forks (often with load) as it's the only way to make the turn in the narrow aisle.
Please Note, The very First thing you should do is check for the weight of the item you plan to move and your forklifts limit. There’s different size machines in a lot of the facilities I’ve been to with different weight capacity for different lifts. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK.
While I've been taught to do this where I got my certificate. I have never and will never do this, you can feel when it's on the verge of being to heavy for that truck. And yes, I've had my back wheels lift up trying to lift a 2000kg pallet. But I would obviously never try to lift anything so heavy high up anyway. We hardly use racking regardless and I obviously won't stack it on top of something.
@@megafauna8374 you think i lift stuff like that meters high? If i only lift it 10 centimeters, the pallet will hit the ground before the forklift can even come close to tipping over.
Safest hi-lo driver/trainer I have seen. That is one fresh new hilo, judging from tires+paint job. Good job whoever placed the plastic barried to protect hi-lo and people walking near the area designated for hi-los. This new job doesn't even have a designated walk zone near hi-los. No walk lines nothing. Outdated.
Yeah that's what went through my mind as well watching this video 🤣🤣🤣, if I load a truck at this speed the truckdrivers would be very happy with me....NOT! And why use the handbrake while your forklift isn't moving? You can put your foot on the brake if necessary. A lot of this video is over exaggerating!!
@@bobshanery5152 That case you quoted is quite literally the definition of dangerous practice for a business and a legitimate lawsuit for negligent practices. The coffee in the McDonalds lawsuit was over 110C when served to that woman which is far past boiling point and essentially becoming steam every few seconds. Do me a favour and boil a kettle and pour it over your legs for 5 seconds and see how that feels? Because that temperature is only 85C on average.
It seems that you are an expert already. When a first-timer trainee on a very first day, should a trainer/instructor focus on "speed" in traveling, hoovering around, turning left and right, spinning, lifting up and down, etc. in teaching??? I think the point of this video/demo is for beginners and for safety as well. like me who completely have no idea how to operate, this is very helpful.
The average operating time for this entire process is 3-4 minutes. As a trainer myself I have kept track of times from new operators to experienced operators
Failed to do all round checks before changing direction 90 degree turn, failed to check underneath when raising lowering load. No mention of mass deflection at high level. And and every time he stopped whilst pulling out the load he never once looked over to his left shoulder.
We have been taught to lifting the pallet a few inches and then tilting the mast backwards. Then moving a few inches backwards, till it’s clear to lower the forks down to roughly 10 inches above the ground. Is it also a correct way to do it or not? Please do answer.
Never looked up before raising ur forks, also reversing out of the racking with out without a load u should be looking back but also having frequent checks to make sure the load or forks are withdrawn cleanly
he did, he levelled off the load at eye level then looked up when he raised to high level, what he didn't do is when he raised the load off the rack, he didn't do a slight stabilising tilt back when the pallet was at high level.
This is all nice in theory, but if we had to go through all his steps, it would take us 1 whole day to unload a 30 pallet truck. And the next day we would probably be fired :)))
Good clear and precise training video. One thing you can always expect is to have some idiot walk behind or in front of you when your are moving with a load.
My apologies Tony, but forget the most important part of this demonstration. Sadly speaking you did not showed the difference of where the maneuvers of this particular forklift are at . I've driven a few different types of forklifts and had never encounter this one. I was trying to know where they were located at in order to execute its driving. Thanks for the typical procedure of which applies generally speaking to all other forklifts.
I get that these are instructional videos, but on a professional level this severely hampers productivity of everyone on the workfloor. At my workplace we have a NUMBER ONE rule, which is: "When you see a forklift or reach truck doing its job, STAY AWAY. Accidents will be held liable against the person entering the vehicle's operating space." When I drive my reach truck down the narrow aisles, I can't keep track of EVERYTHING that's going on around me because I have a quota to meet. When I have my forks up at the fifth shelve (6-7 meters up in the air) I am never allowed to remove my eyes off the load, as the goods I am handling are dangerous chemicals. The safety of the product goes above the safety of well-informed, alert employees. We also have a section in our warehouse which hermetically seals itself off in case of the fire alarm going off, trapping people inside. The only exit door can only be opened with a key and a code. Again, I completely agree to use this footage for educational and training footage, but it's a LONG SHOT from operational reality. It's just too slow.
I've got an instructor that is going to fail me if I don't do all around checks when i am using the hydraulics tomorrow, yet you are not doing them? 3 times i counted. Why the lack of consistency in the training?
Good evening my name is Orlando Nathaniel please put me through about how i can get a forklift operator job i have been working as a forklift operator for over 10ysrs up till date . I want to experience working with a different company i am open for day and night shift as an added value thanks.
To be fair no....nearly never a reason to tilt in the air. Mast vertical is how the trucks base lifting rating is determined, tilting back only moves the centre of gravity towards the rear of the truck. If you are reversing out responsible there is no way to make that pallet slide off of level forks.
Tilting is only adjusted low to the ground immediately before and after driving. Movement of cargo up or down is made vertically. Very rarely you need to adjust tilt at a higher level, and that usually has to do with operations on a non horizontal surface (ex. unloading a truck with a flat tyre, or on a slope...which is not normal at all). If it's your job, stay up-to-date with the newest operating and safety manuals, they're available. 👍
When you first begin just take it slow Don't be anxious that will only make you mess up eventually you'll get the hang of it and it will be second nature you'll be able just to look at the pallet and know exactly how high to raise your forks. A lot of people in the beginning make the mistake of having their tilt too far back and that will cause you to mess up especially above eye level because you cannot see how far back your forks are.
This is good, nice and slow until you have to load a lorry in under x amount of time and is pouring down with rain and diver tell you to get a move on …😮😅
Under no circumstances should your forks be tilted back beyond level without a load. That being said, once you have a load, you tilt your forks back beyond level. It's called a load rest for a reason. DIRP.
I can not find a job as a forklift operator cause I taken my driving license a year ago and I never operate anything. I can operate if they add me their company but they always said you are a beginner that why we can not choose you sorry :(
Ce n est pas tout à fait vrai lorsque vous avez soulever la charge et que vous ignorez son poids qui doit être indiquer sur les cartons vous devez gerber pour que le poids que vous igno soit plus sur l arrière c est une sécurité de plus
Plenty of old timey gunslinger forklift cowboys here. This is a pretty good instruction video for learners on how to qualify for a license, not be a gung ho hero. Driving a forklift while operating the forks is an instant fail in most jurisdictions.
At my previous job it was regularly an issue getting 20 ft long lumber through a 16 ft wide gate. You have to have the load in the air to see and avoid obstacles finesseing through. Not being a cowboy but I like to say I've got a black belt in forklifting 😆
watching videos from trainer like this makes me sic & eyes bleeding to ALL newcomers who watch this : it is not reality and in fact, some of these advices will make u huge mistakes for example : u never go full inside pallet. u have 99% chance u gotta catch something behind and make it fall. and it works for eveywhere, from a truck to a pallet rack i wont speak about the quickness, those ppl never worked in rush time

Yea, imagine actually applying the handbrake and putting it in neutral everytime you raise or lower the forks.

To the people who are saying that he is working slow . Fool this is a training video
Drove a forks for nearly 30yrs, we'd be that far behind if we done all that, we'd get the run...i was trained in 3, 5 and 11 tonne forks
Nice one sir.
What a Janet!
Good

You mean you never apply the handbrake every single time you want to use the hydraulics?!
@@mrdoogle5931 Exactly, because our forklift has an automatic brake that engages when the wheels aren't turning.
It's common sense not to drive or walk behind a forklift driver when he's working. But unfortunately, common sense isn't at all common.

You didn’t honk the horn.
And why does he need to do that??
Is that palet the wrong way round?
Sir please set the seatbelt first before you startup and driving
shouldnt you had the tilt on back so the load is resting on the backrest when you were lowering the load to the floor?
@Elango I was told to by our instructors on the course that it was a must i dont know if its different in an lane warehouse tho.
Yes, sufficient back tilt when lowering. The lack of consistency across the education sector is infuriating.

How to find pivot point properly?
aligne your front wheel axis with the center of the pallette/load you want to pick, whilest driving exactliy in the center of the runway
It’s usually the middles of the front tire
Left hand sir is always on the steering wheel

20 mins at home depot just became 4hours
He didnt tilt the forks before he moved the truck
He obviously tilted it before moving before video was recorded
But for training purposes he should of shown tilting the truck initially before moving
Could only watch 1 minute of that pish
Too much for your limited brain capacity I imagine..
