i get to drive our yards big diesel powered forklift around the yard with no real formal training. I'm also an operator so I'm expected to know how to use it. I don't really use it much unless we need to load a skid of bentonite (sorta as hazardous as asbestos, silicate crystals) or lifting big reamers out the back of our chase truck.

fork lift drivers that work in factories and poo poo though are crazy. i know they want maximum productivity but most of the time I see them theyre in such a god drat rush its probably dangerous

I worked in a warehouse for a publishing company once, the only real danger there was the loving forklift drivers. Slow down around people? Nooo loving way.

If you operate or plan to operate a forklift you will probably learn more from this spoof vid than any bullshit 80's video they give u to watch.
It gets better after the first min or so.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oB6DN5dYWo

This is very true. The first time I drove a forklift, I got my rear end handed to me when I had the forks too high. Staplerfahrer Klaus is probably the best training video of all time.

My un-asked advise follows:

Forks as low as possible.
Sound your horn when crossing a blind entrance or any time you go between rows.
Operate in reverse whenever possible (you need visibility when you have a skid on)
If you have a cage, wear your seat belt and brace if you tip. If you don't have a cage, never wear your seat belt and make sure to jump.
Know where you are and your load limits. You can tip if you're heavy and high.
Never, ever, ever leave a knife or any detritus on top of a skid.
Slow the gently caress down. You're not trying to beat any speed records and tipping a pallet makes everything worse.
Plug if you can. Avoid using the brakes. Plugging saves you time on the charger if it's electric and the stop is smoother.
Tip back to secure the load as long as it's not unstable..
Look at the pallets before you lift the skid. Sometimes they are so bad that they come apart. Especially the chipboard ones. If they do, pick them up, bash out all the supports, put a good pallet upside-down underneath it, set it down in the cutouts, and then pick it up again the right way.
If your vendor loads using slip sheets, curse them and then get your biggest guys to help with the lifting and loading.

We were taught to keep the forks at shin height whenever in transit. The argument given by our trainer was that it would avoid both crushing the knees of anyone we hit and getting the forks caught in ground irregularities.
Then again, after one day, this guy gave my entire shift team, that only ever used a pallet loader, a certification for a counterweight truck after we put one pallet on a shelf with it. the only warehouse employed truck driver was the only one not looking over her shoulder as she backed up because "no-one's ever there".

On the topic of trucks, which is the safest way to bring a pallet up or down an incline. Does it vary depending on the truck or is it always truck down or pallet down?

By default if I see someone driving a forklift my assumption is that they are blind, deaf, and an idiot. If it's running and someone is in the seat, then I'm watching it.

rear end end of the forklift is always downhill. If you're carrying a load and driving downhill, and you have to hit the brakes suddenly then it could fly off and hit whatever you were trying to avoid. Even when empty I try to keep the counterweight downhill, because there's less of a risk of tip over if the wheels hit something.

To be honest, that is the case for any kind of vehicle. Most accidents (at least in my personal experience) happen because someone trusted someone else not to be completely retarded, and it turns out they actually are.

The property managers told the Beijing Youth Daily that the elevator cab was returned to the first floor and taken out of service after workers had “confirmed” that no one was inside. But police investigators said workers simply shouted to check whether anyone was inside and did not open the cab to perform a visual inspection, the news magazine Caixin reported.
