Thank you so much for these tips. i recently graduated out of Forklifting Operations Safety from MidFlorida and the class only took 3 days to learn. Afterwards I kept watching tip videos so I won't jump into these kinds of jobs and make a mistake. So far when I was going through this training sequence I only made one mistake. Not properly placing my load whether it was big or any other size. I already know the safety of ALWAYS looking back once you hooked on your load. And always wait until you reach your destination to raise your load for placement. This helps VERY much.

[@Robidu1973]

If the schedule is impossible to meet, I'd just let the machines run out of material so production grinds to a halt. Since the machine operators don't blame me for it (they know what I'm capable of doing), they make an appropriate statment in their production reports that surely gets seen by our boss. The results could become interesting.

[@Crogatho]

I know right? I work as a reach truck operator in Sweden, I am one out of THREE reach truck operators in our company, yet we supply the entirety of Sweden with their DIY and paint supplies, luckily we have a fourth truck on the way. Anyway, I am constantly filling up picking locations and trying to work around the orderpickers, and they almost never follow safety guidelines and regulations. This one time I was raising a pallet up to the 5th shelve (nearly 9 meters up), and this guy walked UNDERNEATH my load trying to pick something!! I didn't notice him because I keep my eyes on my load, as I should. So I begin to extend the mast, and he was still there. He had to jump ONTO the pallet in front of him in order to not get crushed. He then had the BALLS to blame me for not seeing him!! Like, what the fuck, BASIC warehouse rules say to stay away from reach trucks with their loads high up in the air, at least the length of the mast in distance. Those pickers never do. Pickers... am I right?

[@Patfettx]

Time = money. The more time a driver takes to operate, the more money the company loses and that's the bottom line. Drivers should not have to feel this pressure, they're not the owners of said company and they don't foot the bills. BUT, they do feel the pressure, self imposed or boss imposed. That's when they start taking shortcuts and bam, somebody gets injured or worse, dies. So drivers have got to use their judgement and keep a balance between speed vs safety. Sadly, judgement is an ability that not everyone seem to possess.

[@alfabutt1]

I teach and I think this is a great neutral comment. In a perfect world we can drive this way 100% of the time, however, due to idiots in management they expect everything done faster. This only leads to mistakes and complacency which if someone is injured or worse could close a place down which in turn nothing will get done and no money will be coming in.

[@davidmurphy1207]

Very true. You could definitely go faster than this. Bottom line production based budgets start getting curbed real quick when a single wrongful death suit claiming pressure from quotas had a hand in the accident has a massive impact on that bottom line. A single death could cost millions in lost revenue. Couple that woth workman's comp claims and it's a losing strategy exacerbated by a tightening labor market. Safety was easily overshadowed in the past decades. In the last 5 years logistics is going away from this credo.

I ALWAYS aimed my forks downward real close to the floor about an inch so if by accident striking someone it would be their feet and not their body but again I was the only one in the wearhouse.

I did a course this week and passed for 2 forklift trucks, the practices used here were similar but ours were intensive in safety. The course allows for only 25 points. 3 of them can be added for distances and non vertical mast. Fatal 5 points is considered an observational check, or drive ng with forks raised above a certain height, even driving up inclines can get you points. Ive warched some failure videos today, brolliant examples of ehat can go wrong.

In the second scenario the load was over the backrest so it must be unitized. When parking a propane forklift indoors you must turn the valve off first and let the fuel run out of the lines. Do not store a forklift indoors for a long period of time with pressurized fuel lines.

2nd one oversized load above forklift height didn't beep when backing up going forward with load when going backwards failed to look behind him parked on dock plate

[@supernova743]

I caught all the errors, however one thing we do at our warehouse is never travel distances or round corners forks first. If there's someone around that corner and you run into each other the forks are going to do much more damage to the machines or the product you're carrying than if your counterbalances hit each other. Also if you're traveling forks first and stop suddenly you risk loosing (some of) your load which can be especially dangerous to pedestrians. Our machines are set up so that the forks first travel doesn't have access to the higher speeds. This encourages operators to put the forks behind them.

[@tootruesheep872]

thats why you beep your horn several times and go slowly

[@jupitersnoot4915]

I suppose that's one way to do it. I was taught to slow the approach, sound the horn several times and creep round until you see the way is clear. I suppose that's all up to preference.

[@Ostsol]

Almost none of the safety precautions take any more time worth complaining about it. Looking behind you before backing up is just common sense, just as is driving backward when your forward view is fully obstructed by the load. Lifting and traveling is not a big deal, so long as you're reasonable about it and have cleared the workspace beforehand. If the site is being worked properly, others will not be trying to scoot in and around a moving forklift anyway. The nature of the crates and aisles I deal with require that one lifts and turns into the racking, rather than the other way around. Move fast when it's safe and slow when there are risks. Common sense.

[@weeardguy]

Yep. There are a few people at work that always drive forwards with a load so big you can't oversee it AT ALL. I always make sure I'm not around when they are moving it as I just consider it plain dangerous. Lifting while travelling: darn, if I could not do that, jobs would take a lot longer. But indeed, sometimes I pick up loads I know are wobbly and I certainly won't be lifting while driving towards the truck.

[@RossLemon]

What's common sense for you might not be common sense for someone else.

[@seannz100]

for starters, if i was that careful, nothing would get done, also, there was a 5th mistake on the first example (if i was my previous workplace, and my preference regardless) letting someone walk around in your work space, while he continued to operate the forklift

And no hardhat or hi Vis vest on either driver and the guy walking tut tut, must be easy working there.

[@Dan-eu1dz]

Hold it there. Looking all around you before backing up shouldn't stop you from looking in direction of travel. So as you reverse away from the load you should check around and then keep looking back with a little glance at the forks. Thanks. Your instructor ☺

[@nmotschidontwannagivemyrea8932]

Regarding the first example, and the guy shown at around 10:50, don't those boxes need to be secured to the pallet with shrink wrap or something? At my place of work they would need to be; I just don't know if that's a standard rule in all places.

[@Hothenrik]

The second guy also had his head hanging outside the confines of the truck, since he was carrying an oversized load which was obstructing his view, and that should have been yet another mistake. Traveling in reverse to have a "better view" is not recommended. It should only be done when actually backing away from the load location after receiving or delivering a load, or when moving the truck out of a parked position where there is not sufficient room to move forward and out of that position. He should have taken those 2 pallets in separate loads rather than take them together in one oversized load, even with someone to guide him. No pedestrian should be near the fork truck when it is in motion. This is coming from someone who is very interested in becoming a forklift operator. Learning as I watch more of these scenarios. SAFETY FIRST and ALWAYS.👍

Useful entry level learning tool. Now for the fork truck operator in me, definitely a demo truck. There’s absolutely no scratches on the sides or back plate and the forks look absolutely brand new. On a serious note, why is there no pulse light on the rear of the cage? Also I’m fairly certain OSHA requires all PITS, regardless if it’s a high reach stand up, standard loader or warehouse forklift, or MO/tugger trucks to have their headlights on. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’d also like to add that most forklift to pedestrian accidents are caused, not by operator error/unsafe operations, rather pedestrians being distracted by paperwork, cellphones, and ESPECIALLY, not following safety protocols involving following designated walk ways. Where I work, it’s a constant problem, people have been hit, it’s always the operator, with no load, simply didn’t see them because of the mast, and the pedestrian came across a production line into the drive path into the lift its self. Just saying. Safety involves everyone, not just operators.

[@finniko1995]

Yep! I also see a lot of newbies coming waaaayyy too close to my reach forklift when I'm operating with a pallet on the top shelves, sometimes just outright coming below the forks even when I ask them to stay back. Orientation is way too short and lacks critical safety related instructions being taught, since even the trainees are too unaware of the rules. I'm basically the only person who takes stuff seriously sometimes. There was once a situation when one worker thought he could just come pick up his products right next to the forklift and when I told them the minimum distance from the reach forklift was 5 meters, he shucked "Oh I thought it only meant when I was on my forklift". Asked him why he thinks the rule exists in the first place and explained that if something were to happen and stuff started falling down, he'd be dead then and there.

[@Thealmightybyron]

@@finniko1995 seems to be that common sense is a rare trait these days. 😆. I am constantly dumbfounded that in moments like you described, that no one ever takes gravity into account. Most skids I deal with are interlocking poly totes, however, I often get products on my loads that are cardboard and wood pallets with really poor wrapping. If you’re like me, you probably despise repeating yourself? I grow very tired of telling pickers to back off. I have to constantly tell them when they get too close (they’re in a rush so they can get some down time to go take a 💩 or go get a snack or socialize/play on their phones before they deliver.) that if that falls, it isn’t going to be a clinic visit, it’ll more likely be a meat wagon hauling them to the morgue. All I get is “oh my bad”. 🤦🏻‍♂️. Always a young kid. Sometimes an old guy that just gives no F’s anymore.

None of those are violations. 1. Vests are only required for pedestrians not lift drivers. It is only required if the driver is split between groundwork and driving. 2. Unwrapped pallets can be placed in low steel but not high steel and if it is single layered or loose boxes. 3. Driving forks forward is allowed so long as visibly isn't blocked by a tall load. While companies may apply these rules, they aren't actually OSHA violations.

The forklift should have a handle on the inside perimeter of the frame for traveling in reverse, with a button on it that sounds the horn.

Ofcourse, if they find out (by hearing witnesses and such) that the driver was always careless, the company will not be blamed. But having completed the training, insurance will at least have the company covered, unless research finds that the companies practices are unsafe and thus to blame.

[@NormanLor]

IN THE COMPANY WE WORKED AT THE SHIPPING DRIVERS HAD TO LOAD AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. THE DRIVERS HAD TO DOUBLE STACK 26 PALLETS AND MANEUVER THEM AROUND SHIPPING CORNERS THEN BACK INTO THE VAN. IF THEY ONLY CARRIED TWO AT A TIME WE'D NEVER GET THE LOADS COMPLETED ON TIME. OF COURSE NO ONE ELSE WAS EVER IN SHIPPING WHEN THIS WAS DONE. SAFETY IS ONE THING, JUST AS DRIVING SAFELY ON HIGHWAYS IS A GOOD THING, PARAMEDICS, AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES CAN NEVER GO AT THE MINIMUM SPEED OR VICTIMS WOULD PERISH!! EFFICIENCY IS A MUST IN TODAY'S SHIPPING WORLD! WE WERE ALSO TAUGHT SLIPSHEET LIFTS AND I WAS THE DEMO DRIVER WHEN CUSTOMERS NEEDED TO SEE THIS PROCEDURE!!

3:48 shouldnt your right hand be prepared to use control levers when driving with load?

[@rudeboz5486]

why did none of them apply the brake when stopped to lift a load ???

[@flintironstag2381]

rudeboz Apply the brake? I believe their foot was on the brake.

[@rudeboz5486]

Flint Ironstag you should apply handbrake not foot brake !

[@ppbirdman]

Some trucks are equipped with an Auto Brake so no handbrake is required - I use one

[@rudeboz5486]

look at the one he is on it has a hand brake lever !!!!!

Yes, looking in the direction of travel for pedestrians before backing up is *so* unrealistic.

@@LeChasseur6This isn't far from saying 'If you walk through a parking lot and get run over and killed because someone didn't look where they were going, you got what you deserved.' Hmmm... That doesn't seem right. Maybe you should try again.

[@richardgamlin1459]

Drive JCB all terrain 4wd last 12 years in large UK woodmill . 3 tonne comfortable lift weight at minimum height . 5.3 meter fork lift height max 🤔 maybe 1 tonne max at that height with minimal forward tilt..truck weight is 7.5 tonne .. video's like this remind me I am overconfident at times .99.9 % safety record. Couple of water pumps In IBC I just missed they still connected 😈 other wise 😀👍 Sometimes when unloading pallets from couriers I can see them almost saying. Why you looking behind again there is no body there 🤔? Many times in a big environment I have turned to look behind me and WTF !! Pedestrian..vehicle . ETC.... Although there are multiple mirrors on the truck I honestly only use them whilst traveling forwards to keep an eye of any traffic behind me. So glad I'm not inside a warehouse 😀👍

[@mattgiguere5638]

When setting a 5000 pound mold into the press..its important to make fast jerking motions to realy get ur lift truck tipping back and forth☺️ lol

[@sypher0101]

I have a question that wasn't covered when I did my training, hoping someone can shed some light. The forklift 'Data plate' mentions the limitations/capacities of max weight at forward tilt, but having a load at forward tilt would cause stability issues, wouldn't it? Q: What scenario would require you to have a load with the mast at forward tilt ?

[@alyyj1925]

sypher0101 when u load a truck

[@sypher0101]

still don't get it. Why not drop it straight down ? Is there a video showing loading techniques with the forward tilt being applied ?

[@Dan-eu1dz]

That's a good question. There is no scenario requiring you to operate with the load tilted forward and yes it can cause longitudinal instability. It is there for us to park the forks or you should also bear in mind the fact of forks deflection when depositing heavy load (even squarely) the forks will spring back. So you could work with forward tilt to prevent the forks from 'shooting' on withdraw from pallet /load. P.s Your rated capacity plate information is calculated with the mast in vertical position and forklift parked on level ground. Hope that'll help.

[@alyyj1925]

sypher0101 cause u wont damage other pallets. When tilt forward only the top of pallet will hit other pallets when u are loading both sides of truck.

Can you drive a forkift, if you do not work for the company? Like a subcontrator, even if they know how

Depends on the strictness of the company. If you have a valid certificate, some will grant you access, others may not.

I get fork drivers should be careful but ya my boss for sure would have told me to move with a little more haste..

[@jimmorrison9287]

It's slowed down for demonstration purposes

[@alfabutt1]

Yeah, managers always want their staff to work quicker until there's an accident. Then all fingers point to the operator who feared for their job. I always say to my delegates, if you're constantly put under pressure by management and supervisors and you think it's unsafe, then the best choice you can make, is to leave that shit hole.

[@claudebaron9525]

Just the machine itself a regular lifts like the one they show in this is about 3 to 4 times the weights of a car , the linden models where the driver is sitting sideways is a 8000 pounds machine , and that’s without anything to carry so just add what you carry to the 8000 pounds and at this weight even at 2 mph you can easily squish someone and kill themes in seconds

[@thomasjoseph5751]

I've been driving a forklift for 5 years now and my first time I used one in the work place was three days after I passed my test I learned on a electric truck witch was really slow and easy to use but when I started my new job thay were gas and diesel trucks witch were a lot quicker and seemed to move without touching the gas paddle thay don't train/tell you about that in your lessons/test

[@deborahchesser7375]

It may seem silly but as a former service technician I’ve seen people get hurt bad and sometimes crippled from negligence

[@Camman010]

I haven't been on a lift truck since 2006, (retired) and I spotted them all plus another one that they didn't point out. Every time your truck is in motion your hand should be on the lift controls.

[@tinkerman9434]

I work at a place called pitt Ohio LLC. All they care about is GET IT DONE FAST "we got trucks we need to get out of here" no one care about the rules when work needs done lol

[@sammybutler3027]

I didn’t catch 5:35 only bc most forklifts or at least the ones where i work have mirrors and I thought he was checking them
