Doosan Warehouse Forklifts
Forklift Truck Training
Operators need to undergo training on an industrial-powered forklift, or lift truck to receive forklift operator certification. The training course must be specific to the forklift type and attachments which you will be utilizing on the job site. Training should also reflect the setting in which you would be working. Forklift safety must be a top priority for both the operator trainee and the trainer.
General Qualifications
Anybody utilizing a forklift must undergo both training and certification prior to assuming operator duties. Basic qualifications for operating a forklift include an age minimum of 18 years and the physical capacity to control and operate the unit safely.
Pedestrian Safety
The main concern of any forklift operator must be the safety of pedestrians. Pedestrians near the forklift are at risk of injury or death from getting hit by the machinery or its attachments. Pedestrians should always have the right of way, and forklift drivers must honk their horns when working near pedestrians or at crosswalks or intersections.
Weather Conditions
Forklift accidents usually take place on loading docks. These places become hazardous if rain leaks in through open dock doors making the floor very slippery. Wet floor conditions create a hazard and drivers need to be aware of potential hazards when working in loading dock areas.
Certification
Certification programs for forklift drivers include both practical training and classroom instruction that can be tailored for the specific requirements of each work setting. Training should be undertaken on the kind of forklift and attachments which will be used by the trainee in the workplace.
Mishaps
Every year approximately 100 individuals die in forklift mishaps. There are one hundred thousand forklift injuries reported each and every year. Nearly all of these accidents can be avoided with attention to safety and correct operator training.
Doosan High Capacity Forklifts
Telescopic Forklifts
Telescopic forklift models are outfitted with a pronged lift on an arm that extends over the top of the truck offering great height and versatility. The arm, or crane, is referred to as a telescopic boom. The boom allows the operator to maintain a high degree of control while raising the cargo to great heights. Standard forklifts can not move the load towards and away from the forklift cab, while a telescopic forklift allows that movement. The telescopic forklift is commonly used in both agriculture and construction. It is better for applications where greater control and lift is needed.
A forklift carton clamp attachments are recommended in cases requiring high volume carton handling. The attachment has arm pads with four way reversible rubber linings which enable the operator to use uniform clamping force when lifting a load. It comes with a backrest that protects the cargo from damage.
A slip sheet attachment fits onto a slip sheet forklift. It is utilized for storing systems that don't utilize pallets. The attachment clamps onto the slip sheet and pulls it onto the forks on the forklift. This type of system is useful for intra-corporate deliveries and for overseas shipments.
A lift platform which is designed to lift personnel is referred to as a Man Basket. It attaches to the forklift forks and a strap or chain is used to attach the basket to the forklift carriage. The platform has railings to protect the employees from falling to the ground. Brackets on the platform are utilized for fastening the safety harness of the worker.
