How to Properly Utilize a Forklift
Lift trucks are lifting machines that could move loads. They are usually used in various industries to transport heavy materials. They could be found at building supply companies, warehouses and airports. Anybody operating a lift truck should be taught to carefully utilize the machine. It is critical to be totally aware of one's surroundings while driving a forklift. Lift trucks are designed to run on gasoline, propane, batteries or diesel. Standard forklifts are popular in various commercial applications and are truly not difficult to operate with proper training. The following steps outline the basics of operating a lift truck:

1 Familiarize yourself with the levers which would be used to maneuver the cargo and to move the object from one location to another. The levers can be found to the steering wheel's right side.
2 The first lever controls the up and down movement of the blades. Pulling the lever towards you moves the blades up, and pushing the lever away from your body moves them down. Forks must be kept near the ground except when unloading or loading.
3 The two other levers work to control the blades movement right and left and to control the forks tilt. The blades are designed to tilt between 15 and 30 degrees. It is better that you practice prior to picking up a load. Using the second lever, push it away from you to tilt the forks forward, and pull it towards you to tilt the tines back.
4 Lever number 4 is utilized to control the side to side movement of the forks from right to left. Simply move the lever towards where you would like the blades to move: right to move the forks right and left to move the blades left.
5 Carefully approach the load. Lower the forks and carefully drive forward until the tines slide under the load. Then lift the blades several centimeters by pulling the lever towards your body. If the cargo is top-heavy, you need to tilt the forks backwards a small amount for balance.
6 Warn other people and employees when the lift truck is approaching by honking and take safety precautions by taking corners slowly and honking. Approach the place where you will be working with caution. Manipulate the levers to maneuver the load to where it is going. When the cargo is positioned, reverse gears and back away carefully.
7 Lift trucks stop in much the same way as other types of vehicles. The brake is located to the left of the accelerator. When stopped, put the gear into "park."
