FORKLIFT TRAINING COURSE AT SA MINING INSTITUTE IN RUSTENBURG, NORTH WEST
Forklifting( counter balance) is a powered industrial truck used to lift and move materials over short distances.
Forklifts streamline the storage, retrieval and organisation of goods. They are crucial for moving heavy construction materials and equipment. Forklifts transport raw materials and finished products within manufacturing facilities. Large retail stores use forklifts for stocking and restocking purposes.

Always load up facing the heaviest part of the machine
When driving on a ramp, the travel direction is dependent on the forklift carrying a load or travelling without the load. The general rule is that the heaviest end of the machine is orientated upslope. For example, if the operator
Always follow the proper load technique
Never push or pull a load with fork tips. Lift loads above the suggested weight or attempt to use a counterweight. Loads should always be secured and attached correctly. Never load or unload goods while on a ramp; you’ll compromise your safety by doing so. Remember, it’s always better to take extra precautions than to have a load potentially fall on someone and cause serious injury.
Be mindful of other people
While operating a forklift, always keep an eye on other workers. Drive slow, be attentive to your surroundings, honk the horn when coming around corners to alert others etc. As the trained driver, you are responsible for the safety of your coworkers. Never allow anyone to walk or stand under a load. Additionally, communicate directly with anyone who tries to fool around with the forklift.
Avoid abrupt stops
Sudden stops can shift the load you’re carrying and potentially cause the forklift to tip over. This fact highlights the importance of reasonable speed limits if you need to stop abruptly for safety reasons. Making such stops is difficult if you’re stepping on the gas, going full throttle. So ensure you can make these abrupt stops safely if the situation calls for it.
Always park at a designated spot
