Challenges faced when operating a forklift

Rip van winkle November 22, 2021 Reviews Leave a Comment

When you’re training to operate a forklift truck, you’ll likely find that there are a few unique challenges. There are plenty of chances to fine tune the practical aspects before training ends but here are some of those challenges that you might face:

Load weights – Operating a pallet truck doesn’t bring with it the same kind of balancing act that is required when carrying heavy loads on the front of a forklift. An operator must understand the issues of balance and weight distribution or run the risk of loads falling off or the forklift tipping over.

Slopes – Most warehouses and distribution centres are flat but there may be occasion to travel up and down ramps or slight inclines. Forklift operators must be aware of how their load needs to be adjusted for approaching slopes, such as the need for counter balances to add stability to the forklift.

Limited vision – Even when operating without a load, vision can be obstructed. With a load, the field of vision is obstructed even more. An awareness of surroundings and assessing a field of vision are essential before operating a forklift.

Pedestrians – The heavier a load, the more time that will be required when coming to a stop due to momentum. Keeping an eye on surroundings and pedestrians is essential to avoid accidents. Forklifts can move surprisingly quickly so maintaining a safe operational speed is crucial.

Control – Mastering the smooth control of a forklift in tight spaces or busy environments takes some effort and won’t come overnight.
