Doosan Warehouse Forklifts
Forklift Truck Training
Operators have to undergo training on an industrial-powered forklift, or lift truck to receive forklift operator certification. The training program should be specific to the forklift attachments and type which you will be using on the job site. Training must also reflect the setting in which you will be working. Forklift safety must be a top priority for both the trainer and the operator trainee.
General Qualifications
Anyone utilizing a forklift should undergo both training and certification before assuming operator duties. Basic qualifications for using a forklift include being at least eighteen years old and the physical capacity to operate and control the unit safely.
Pedestrian Safety
The main concern of any forklift driver must be the safety of pedestrians. Pedestrians in the vicinity of the forklift are at risk of death or injury from getting hit by the machinery or its attachments. Pedestrians always have the right of way, and forklift operators should honk their horns when working at intersections or crosswalks or near pedestrians.
Weather Conditions
A lot of accidents involving forklifts happen at loading docks. These places become dangerous if rain leaks in through open dock doors causing a very slippery floor. Wet floor conditions create a hazard and operators should know possible hazards when working in loading dock areas.
Certification
Forklift certification programs consist of a combination of practical training and classroom instruction tailored to the specific requirements of the workplace. Training must be undertaken on the kind of forklift and attachments which would be utilized by the trainee in the workplace.
Mishaps
Each year about 100 people die in forklift mishaps. There are 100,000 forklift injuries reported each and every year. Nearly all of these accidents are preventable with correct operator training and attention to safety.
Doosan High Capacity Forklifts
Telescopic Forklifts
Telescopic forklift units are outfitted with a pronged lift on an arm which extends over the top of the truck offering versatility and great height. The crane, or arm, is called a telescopic boom. The boom allows the person utilizing it to lift the cargo to great heights while maintaining a high degree of control. Regular forklifts aren't able to move the load away from and towards the cab of the forklift, whereas a telescopic forklift can allow that movement. The telescopic forklift is usually utilized in agriculture and construction. It is better for applications where greater lift and control is needed.
A forklift carton clamp attachments are recommended in situations needing high volume carton handling. The attachment has arm pads with four way reversible rubber linings which allow the operator to use uniform clamping force when picking up a cargo. It is available 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 which don't utilize pallets. The attachment clamps onto the slip sheet and pulls it onto the forks on the forklift. This kind of system is useful for intra-corporate deliveries and for overseas shipments.
A man basket is a lift platform designed particularly to lift workers. The basket attaches to the forks on the forklift, held in with a strap or chain which is to be secured directly to the forklift carriage. The platform has railings to protect the staff from falling to the ground. Brackets on the platform are utilized for fastening the safety harness of the worker.
