I’ve never used one, but I have a position where they asked if I did. I said yes. I’ll tell them I’m a bit rusty and need some practice or a refresher 😂
Great explaining I am beginner and my instructor did not explain it like you did . After watching this video I feel a little more comfortable going into class. Thank you
They told me to come back Monday just had problem with the breaks thank you so much now she will see my riding like a pro and working smart 😁 same thing I did at my other job they just have pallet jackets
By far the best video I've seen. I've never been in this kinda work before. I've always worked fast food and was offered a job at this warehouse doing this. I start in 2 weeks I'm nervous but this video gives me confidence. Thank you!
@@pindaryahashua the job also gave us ample training and at least two days to get comfortable before testing us! I guess it depends on the company and training. Sorry to hear!!
I've been a qualified industrial truck driver for years and I must say... the main reason I came here was because I heard oderus Urungus made an appearance! Oderus lives!
Very good instructions for my new job 20$hr 14hrs a day going in with no experience with the electric pallet jack now I can go in with some knowledge thanks bro and I laughed when I saw that guy jump at 8:36 in the video and put his hands up lol must of been an inside joke to you from a buddy playing lol
Great video. I’m getting a job (well hopefully) n that’s the machine I’m gonna be using n wanted to see videos on the machine so I can have an idea b4 my training. Thanks was really helpful
This is a helpful video. I appreciate the knowledge. With the video upgrade, the narrator should wear a microphone wire (to hear the instruction better and to reduce background warehouse noise). Thanks for posting.
Great video. I personally enjoy launching myself off and into a run towards my destination. Good fun. You should demonstrate that. Also, the area next to the handle makes for a decent seat if your legs are getting tired you can sit while you drive it. If you lean hard when you turn at high speed you can get the pallet jack to really tilt on the wheels, get nice tight turns, a bit treacherous though. Good stuff.
Shoulda watched this before my warehouse job I would’ve passed with flyin colors 😅 I made it but this is honestly better knowledge than what my trainer gave me… the rest was figuring it out
i also train people on EPJ's, have been for a few years and he did a good job with this video but i have 2 issues. first: he didn't cover proper throttle control (maybe he does with his students at a latter time and it just didn't make the video) he does seem to be using proper hand position when he's showing the turning but this always needs to be pointed out to trainees. proper hand grip is an ice cream cone grip @11:40 not a cave man grip @5:58 (just like motorcycles) if you cave man grip the throttle then the throttle position can change when you lean forward/backward or steer left/right with out you meaning to (or changing throttle position unintentionally) and is the most common way new drivers go into an out of control event, (usually when backing up) there is a good video on proper grip here th-cam.com/video/tPsjr7jxO0o/w-d-xo.html even if it's for motorcycles we still use it for many of the same reasons. 2nd: going down to do an emergency stop is never a good idea @8:30 . this puts you, your hand/body, and control arm between you and what ever it is you are trying not to hit, or get hit by, it can also be a very sudden jerk witch can cause your other had to lose grip, launching you off the jack and if your already leaning forward.... if your looking to lose some fingers on the job then use the down method. you want to have the base of the jack, witch is like a bumper, hit stuff to stop the jack, do not use your body as the bumper!!. the down emergency brake is for when you are walking an EPJ.
Whether walking pallet jacks or not, you should always include the red reverse button on the control handle (the "belly button") in your training. It is a safety feature that needs to be operating properly.
Who drives these everyday at work for 8 hour shift?? I'm asking this question bc I currently do....does anyone have issues with legs, knees or thighs after continued usage??
Hey Was Detailed in Training But I Get Sick of Alot of Warehouse Companies and Temp Agencys in Favoritism B.S. and Being Stereotypical to Women Advancing to Get a Chance to Learn to Drive these If your Pretty and Girly you will Not Be Picked to Do this Job or Use this Equipment Because Most Comapnies Want avoid Sexual Lawsuit
is hard to find a person who knows how to explain things as good as this guy does,
great class. Thank you. Have a new job coming up soon involving this and it's my first go at it but I feel way more confident about it now.
how did it go? i start tomorrow for my first time😬
How did it go
@@007don4 i actually got promoted since then and drive forklifts and reaches now, this video is the best for EPJ training
That’s what I’m saying I start in a few days😂

This is great. I'm gonna impress my supervisor when he finally get's me on one

Epic Training!!!! I recommend this tutorial. Those 13mns were outstanding!!!
Thank you for this. I haven't had any luck finding a local call for this.
Thank you this is one of the best explanation of riding a epj of this type 💯💯🙏 you made me feel more relaxed for my second day of work tmrw 💀
Great video Sir. Will definitely start using the hips more for my turns. Hopefully driving a XL EPJ at work floor soon.
Thank you so much for the info on the epj I needed my teacher to teach like u did. I feel so much confidence now. Again thank u so much sir.
Thank you so much!! I’m going to use the hip technique rather than using so much strength. I had no idea! Great video!
Anyone else lie on their job application?😂
🤫
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂

Excellent video, very informative…thanks!
Great video! Extremely informative and I feel ready for my first day on the EPJ as well🔥 very much appreciated
Update: went in and killed training now I have secured a great job thanks again!
@@zairejaccole5944 that's good.. I had first day and just quit because it was so difficult for me lol
@@pindaryahashua the job also gave us ample training and at least two days to get comfortable before testing us! I guess it depends on the company and training. Sorry to hear!!
Is it easy?
@@samuelblackwell3762 with practice and good coordination, yes. (Note: I also had a bunch of forklift operating experience prior to learning EPJ)
This is a Master Class Sir! Thank you for your training video.
Great video, thanks for posting.
This video has given me confidence, thanx.

Thanks! for simplifying into minutes the correct way to use this equipment
Cool. I needed to see this. I'll be training to use one on my job
Great video. I’m getting a job (well hopefully) n that’s the machine I’m gonna be using n wanted to see videos on the machine so I can have an idea b4 my training. Thanks was really helpful
Thank u for going over the turn & hip part I jus started a new job training & want to learn fast
This is a helpful video. I appreciate the knowledge. With the video upgrade, the narrator should wear a microphone wire (to hear the instruction better and to reduce background warehouse noise). Thanks for posting.
Thank you!!! Great class!
Good Job and thank you so much for your time explaining the tutorial

Excellent!!!!
Thank you made feel more confident
Thank you👍🏾
Thank you!
The handle is heavy man hard to turn
DortmundBVB22x it’s easier when your in motion
Use your hips when turning
Thomas Skinner the rider has to be in motion to turn. Yes
Adela Villalpando No, they can be standing and still be able to turn, i it’s just easier to turn a moving wheel vs a still wheel
@@redcartiers yes. but there is no reason to turn it when not in motion. its like a steering wheel without steering fluid
Single ('stubbie'): Lifts 1 pallet
Double: Lifts 2 pallets.
There's no mistaking the 2!
Wish me good luck I'm taking a test Tuesday
Also make sure you don't go fast a hell around corners with 1000 or more go slow n easy.
Shoulda watched this before my warehouse job I would’ve passed with flyin colors 😅
I made it but this is honestly better knowledge than what my trainer gave me… the rest was figuring it out
Thank you 👍
Made a mistake turning i didnt let go of clutch.
what happens if you do that?
I'd step on first before lowering the handle. Make sure you're steady before potentially engaging the throttle. 👀
“Dump the load” LOL

I have also five years experience in this field. Any kind of work there

That button saved my life definitely not something you should skip over in training
I work at Walmart and I have to know how to use this so I can pass the certification test.
Who drives these everyday at work for 8 hour shift?? I'm asking this question bc I currently do....does anyone have issues with legs, knees or thighs after continued usage??
No. I also drive a forklift, that is what kills my feet with the foot pedals.
@@treesa8707 thank you TBH I gave it break...but my problem was working overnights, overworked and lack of sleep...that combo had my legs aching
Yeah I had the same problem, but the bonus I get for working overnight is worth it for me tbh.. Enough rest is the key tho
I ride quads. Lawd. And can fit even five at a time.
Price?
i learned to drive is in less than 30mins lol on my first day on the job
How do you turn it on
It has a key that you have to turn in order to turn it on. If it doesn't turn on, the battery probably needs to be charged .
8:36lol
Try showing the buttons you are pressing for what.
My instructor didn’t tell me any of this
i am scared to be hit by this at my job
Keep your head on a swivel.

Come to pepsico👌🏿 everyone kicks ass here men and women
seems like some or most peeps don't care about safety where i work, drive like napoleon bonaparte ... no good
These machines suck! Very uncomfortable in a warehouse with bumps and potholes. I quit my coke job because of this garbage.
Wish my place had power steering on our EPJs😓
