Forklift Safety & Operations - 24 hours
Forklift Simulator Activities - 8 hours
Students will begin training on forklift simulators. Forklift simulators put students at the controls of a typical "factory" forklift (also called "forklift truck" or "lift truck") with rear-wheel steering. Many different kinds of situations typical of factories, warehouses, and distribution centers are presented, in order to address the training needs of a wide variety of customers using different operational practices. Students will receive 8 hours of training on the forklift simulators (4 hours on the Forklift Personal Simulator and 4 hours on the Reach Lift Truck Personal Simulator).
Students will practice on seven "Simulation Modules" of increasing difficulty, as follows:
* Controls familiarization
* Slalom, for driving forwards, with and without loads
* Ramp driving, for driving forwards and backwards up and down ramps, with and without loads
* Working with selective pallet racks
* Working with drive-In/drive-through racks
* Working with oversized loads and cantilever racks and a flatbed truck, positioned outside
* Working at loading docks, with two different kinds of trucks
Forklift Driving Activities - 16 hours
In addition, students will experience hands-on forklift training, including 4 hours of training on a Forklift truck and 4 hours on a Reach Lift truck. Evaluation activities will include:
* Inspect forklift and driving course
* Start and stop forklift
* Drive forward in specific pattern
* Drive around cones and other structures
* Practice load handling
* Stop and use horn
* Perform forward slalom, reverse slalom, forward slalom 2, and load handling
