► Follow the correct forklift procedure to move off; Gear, Observation, Handbrake release and final Observation (GOBO).
► Drive forward in a slow steady speed in the centre of aisle looking at the direction of travel.
► Line up front wheel axle (pivot point) to the centre of load
► Apply handbrake and full lock steering towards the load and gently accelerate, maintaining observation in all directions
► Stop 6 inches before racking, apply handbrake and transmission in neutral
► Using tilt hydraulic adjust the mass into vertical position to have the fork arms straight
► Complete all round especially above looking out for obstructions above ourselves
► Lift fork arms towards the height of the load
► Complete all round check and follow GOBO and gently drive forward in to the load
► Once into position and ready to pick up, apply handbrake and transmission into neutral
► Gently raise the fork arms to lift the load up ensuring looking above the load for any obstructions
► Follow the forklift GOBO procedure, twist body, arm behind seat looking at direction of travel and slowly creep back in reverse
► Concentrating 80% in direction of travel and 20% at the load ensuring clean exit from the racking
► Stop 6 inches away from racking and apply handbrake and transmission in neutral
► Lower the load into travelling position, 4-6 inches off the ground
► Follow GOBO procedure and twist your body posture behind the seat and full lock steering towards the direction of travel.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
