Steps for Counterbalance forklift training:

► Follow the correct procedure to move off; Gear, Observation, Handbrake release and final Observation (GOBO).
► Looking at the direction of travel driving forward at a slow steady speed.
► Once you have arrived at your destination or location, stop 6 inches away from the allocated location.
► Apply handbrake and put the transmission into neutral.
► Move/ apply the mast to a vertical position ensuring that the load is level before depositing the load to the ground level.
► Before depositing the load, we look around making sure that there are no obstacles or hazards around. Awareness of ground condition, ensuring its smooth, level, no debris, strong enough for the weight of the load.
► Once the load is deposited safely to ground, lower the forks down an inch or two below the load ensuring the forks are not grazing the pallet or the ground.
► Transmission into reverse (backwards), we repeat the forklift GOBO procedure Gear, Observation, Handbrake release and final Observation.
► Hand behind your seat,
► Twisting your body looking at the direction of travel giving you a clear visibility
► Keeping all limbs within the confines of the truck
► Gently accelerate and reverse backwards at a very slow speed,
► 80% looking at the direction of travel and 20% looking at the deposited load ensuring the fork arms are not grazing or rubbing the ground.
