Performing lifts
The Academy will ensure that training operators can confidently perform and execute lifts of freight.
The machine has two forks that can lift or lower a freight load, they are mounted to the centre of the chassis. The prongs can then be manually raised and lowered using hand control mechanics or automatically with an automated system. We will train participants in operating both types of equipment.

Counterbalance system
As the name suggests, this vehicle has a counterbalance system, which keeps it from toppling over when the operator loads or unloads freight.
We will ensure that training participants understand the forklift’s maximum height and weight loads and that they have a responsibility to adhere to the set guidelines whilst performing lifts and manoeuvres.

Maintenance of the forklift
The training also covers maintenance of the forklift, this allows issues to be spotted and dealt with quickly, preventing further damage to the vehicle and potential injury from occurring.
Operators should regularly perform safety and maintenance checks, ensuring that the brakes are working, fluid levels are correct, tyre treads are not worn and there are no signs of damage, e.g.) leaking fluids, broken parts, etc.
