Doosan Warehouse Forklifts
Forklift Truck Training
Operators must undergo training on an industrial-powered lift truck, or forklift to be given forklift operator certification. The training must be specific to the forklift attachments and type which you would be utilizing on the job. Training must also reflect the setting in which you will be working. Forklift safety must be a top priority for both the operator trainee and the trainer.
General Qualifications
Anyone operating a forklift should undergo both training and certification before assuming operator duties. Basic credentials for operating a forklift include being at least 18 years old and the physical capacity to safely operate and control the unit.
Pedestrian Safety
The safety of pedestrians must be a top concern of any forklift operator. Pedestrians in the vicinity of the forklift are at risk of death or injury from getting hit by the equipment or its attachments. Pedestrians must always have the right of way, and forklift drivers must honk their horns when working near pedestrians or at intersections or crosswalks.
Weather Conditions
Forklift accidents usually occur on loading docks. These areas become hazardous if rain leaks in through open dock doors leading to an extremely slippery floor. Wet floor conditions could result in a danger and operators should be aware of potential hazards when working in loading dock areas.
Certification
Forklift certification programs include a combination of classroom instruction and practical training tailored to the specific requirements of the workplace. Training must be undertaken on the type of forklift and attachments that would be used by the trainee in the workplace.
Mishaps
Each year around 100 people die in forklift mishaps. There are 100,000 forklift injuries reported each and every year. The majority of these accidents can be prevented with attention to safety and correct operator training.
Doosan High Capacity Forklifts
Telescopic Forklifts
Telescopic forklifts provide versatility and height. These units are outfitted with a pronged lift on an arm which extends over the top of the truck. The crane, or arm, is called a telescopic boom. The boom enables the person utilizing it to lift the load to great heights while maintaining a high degree of control. Regular forklifts could not move the cargo towards and away from the forklift cab, whereas a telescopic forklift could allow that movement. The telescopic forklift is commonly utilized in both construction and agriculture. It is better for applications where greater lift and control is required.
A forklift carton clamp attachments are recommended in situations requiring high volume carton handling. The attachment has arm pads with four way reversible rubber linings that allow the operator to apply uniform clamping force when picking up a load. It is available with a backrest which protects the cargo from damage.
A sleep sheet forklift will usually use a slip sheet attachment for storing systems which don't use pallets. The attachment clamps onto the slip sheet and pulls it onto the forklift forks. This type of system is useful for intra-corporate deliveries and for overseas shipments.
A lift platform which is meant to raise staff is known as a Man Basket. It attaches to the forklift forks and a chain or strap is used to attach the basket to the forklift carriage. The platform has railings to protect the personnel from falling to the ground. Brackets on the platform are used for fastening the safety harness of the worker.
