@@tylerpotter9329 yeah I said I had experience as I have driven machines for a while so didnt think it was difficult to learn. Was told I was going g to be driving one after lunch one day so watched this video and built up my confidence. Now my company is paying for my ticket
@@Hunchobinladen I have mastered the forklift now. U really do need to just get the feel of the steering. Comes naturally after a few hours practice on one. 😂 hope you got on ok after break man
Learned to operate one in 2007 and drove it daily. Was thrown on one just recently after so many years (AUG 12, 2022 to be exact) and it came back to me quickly like riding a bike. One thing I do when reversing, I look back and honk the horn two times before proceeding/making sure no one or nothing is behind me. 👍🏼👷🏻♂️🚨
i just learned to drive one today in a warehouse. Only thing I need to do is learn how to go quicker, I know it comes with time, but hope I don't make the lines fall behind due to it
@@infernomaster2702 Ah, I see what you’re saying. Remember, safety first…ALWAYS. You’ll be a pro in no time. What I would do if you can being in that situation, is practicing I say during when you got some free time? You’ll be fine. By the way, I just got recertified a month ago. Our instructor was surprised I knew to honk twice before going in reverse while other of my coworkers didn’t. 👷🏻♂️👍🏼
Great video! Just a reminder for the viewer, make sure to tilt the forks back to a 90 degree angle to insure maximum safety when lifting/moving load 4:43
Not necessarily what if the load needs to be leveled example would be a fish tank filled with water and not top can't really tilt that back gotta move it parallel to the floor
@@ghettolove6764 that’s incorrect, that’s considered safety problem at least to where zi worked at. I was in the military, and it is always necessary to tilt back loads so it doesn’t go forward and fall to the ground. I was certified to operate all sorts of firklift, from 4k up to 10k all terrain forklift, it was part of my job.
Only tilt forks back once you have lowered the load and are about to travel. If you are in racking and you tilt the load back, it’s going to catch the bay above when you’re withdrawing.
What you missed that is most important.Check behind you before you reverse. Hitting an object is one thing. Hitting a pedestrian is something completely different . If you don't check behind BEFORE you reverse you will never know who or what is behind you.
Thanks alot for this teaching I actually got a job wish I will resume this evening I before now I have little or no idea about forklift operation I think I have gotten what am looking for thanks once more.
There is no license just certificates but that’s what you probs meant, license is government issue and the gov doesn’t do forklifts only cars/trucks/bikes
It’s just a gas and 2 brake Peddles it isn’t like your car where your right foot does everything no your left should always hover over your brake most of the time on propane to move like inches forward you need to have your left on the brake little gas and slowly let off the brake to move forward you don’t just use your right foot
On electric ones you prob can cause them you let go of brake it goes nowhere you need gas to go but propane you let go that bitch starts going and it goes fast
Very good video thanks for sharing I learned a lot by watching this 👍 by the way nice hair cut!!!! it reminded me the movie.... The last of the Mohicans 👍👍👍
You still don’t know till you try it out, it’s not like cars it’s hard to explain but since time has past since you made this comment you probs know what I mean right?
Check the compliance plate to see the minimum and maximum weight the fork lift can carry. Bring a holster with a hand gun and enough ammunition just in case someone leaks something or someone trespasses or betrays you.
He is operating a 4k forklift. It can carry 4k pounds lol. If you’re experienced with forklifts you can immediately tell what kind of forklift it is before operating it. But of course you’re correct to always check the data plate.
Great video , very well explained ! I was hoping you give some advise for someone like myself with absolutely no experience but wants to get their certification and classes done - what category of Fork lift lessons should one take ? I know there are many like - Reach Fork Truck Counterbalance , Order Picker etc , confused as to which will get me my first break to get a job. Many thanks in advance
I seen 3 major mistakes, 1st you got onto the truck on the wrong side, 2nd you didn't look behind you before reversing and 3rd you should never operate the hoist whilst the truck in in traction, that there is a fail on your FLT test....
Those aren't hard set rules and they go by location. Where I work, while it may be easier to get in on one side, it's certainly not a rule. And if we weren't allowed to operate the forks and lift or lower them while moving, it would take forever to get things done.
@@procrastinator6902 Hi, I agree with you 100% and no one goes by the rules lol but here in the UK it would be a failure whilst being tested, I'm a fork truck service engineer and I'm always on the move whilst operating the joist etc...
Never understood when a job says u need 6 months of experience to work at a job but no one will hire u on an job for u to learn how to forth lift did anyone teach u how to do it and do they teach u this in college or school? how u learned? I'm from alabama
Good day Sir.... I'm actually a Folklift trainee but i want to ask a question please What if the load you carry obstruct your view and you are to move on a reverse direction now if it is that where you should drop the load is at your back and you are reversing how will you turn and drop the load when you have reversed already and there is no space
Thanks for the video I'm due to do the training course in a couple of months I'm a novis but I'm so worried about failing do you have any tips at all thank you
How'd it go? I got the job today and Monday is orientation. So I'm stressing big time... I have no experience whatsoever. I was my mother's caregiver for 22 years. Sadly she passed away on Valentine's Day last month. So as of the 7th of Feb I was jobless. Because she went to the hospital on the 7th and passed away 7 Days later. And I'm still living in her house without her and I don't want to lose her house so I have to get a job this was the only job available I'm sure notice. Do you have any advice on how to use forklift? Was it hard to work it? Ughhh my nerves are driving me nuts.
For me I told my job I can't they gave me a 30 min training 2 weeks ago and tried make me do it today. I don't wanna kill nobody gee whiz. So here I am.
I want to work at a warehouse job have no experience need a better paying job work at a restaurant as a dishwasher I recently just got me a car which is why I haven't quick my job yet I'm a hard worker with good work ethic hopefully I can learn to drive a forklift
They're adjustable. They have pins on top of them that you pull up on and it allows you to move the forks closer together or further apart. Of course you have to be off the lift to do these and need the forks a few feet in the air.
You just saved my job good sir. Sitting in the bathroom trying to learn how to drive a machine I already said I could 😂
Same 🤣🤣
seriously?

Totally Agree with you sir!
He has mirrors tho
@@Iquit6x Do you use just your mirrors when you back up? You shouldn't.
Tbf that goes for any vehicle when you back up
@@OwenT2 You would be surprised how many drivers don't look.
Your video was so much better than other ones on youtube i’ve seen. Props for safety tips and checklists.
Thank you so much for giving me the skills on how to operate fork lift and am sure if I continue watching you video I will be perfect, God bless you.
I really appreciate for your time to teach us. Blessings to you.
i'm here for my cousin's homework and i really understand everything you said without having previor knowledge of this, you're amazing!
Thank you for sharing some tips on how to operate and lifting loads
Thanks alot for this teaching I actually got a job wish I will resume this evening I before now I have little or no idea about forklift operation I think I have gotten what am looking for thanks once more.
I have watched many videos but this video gave me proper understanding.. thanks I love you
Good one mate, thanks for that! Been struggling to find a decent video on the pedals and levers.
Thank you I’m getting training on this next week at Home Depot
looks pretty straightforward it's a good i have my forklift license and thanks for the advice
There is no license just certificates but that’s what you probs meant, license is government issue and the gov doesn’t do forklifts only cars/trucks/bikes
Amazing video, You've helped me a lot and saved my job. Thanks!
As simple as he thinks without mentioning the 3 pedals where ur foot is controlling
It’s just a gas and 2 brake Peddles it isn’t like your car where your right foot does everything no your left should always hover over your brake most of the time on propane to move like inches forward you need to have your left on the brake little gas and slowly let off the brake to move forward you don’t just use your right foot
On electric ones you prob can cause them you let go of brake it goes nowhere you need gas to go but propane you let go that bitch starts going and it goes fast
the forklift i drive only has two pedals
Every forklift I've driven has 3 pedals. I've been banned from driving our forklift at work because I don't know what the middle pedal does.
Great video.. there's no need to go to school for it anymore. I just need to find one so i can practice
Hi, my name is Robson. I'm from Brazil and i'm operate forklift. I lake of The your joob .Very good.

Yes I enjoyed your teaching on how to drive forklift machine.
Thanks for the Refresher course
Best advice for first time operators .... go slow, take your time
You are a good operator
Thank you bro. You good....
Great video!
It is great idea to always check everything first for safety purposes!
precheck
I didn’t know how to one drive until now thanks boss man
You still don’t know till you try it out, it’s not like cars it’s hard to explain but since time has past since you made this comment you probs know what I mean right?
driving and operating one are two diffferent things
You need a longer vest my boi lol. But thank u! I just got offered the forklift position that i lied my way into 😂👍🏽

Thanks, a good video short and sweet
Thank you for your feedback! Means a lot.
@Hello Sam how are you doing
Good job brother. I enjoy waching it..I got 10 years operating that machine

Good work
Nice i u are a good teacher,
Am a forklift operator for about 17yrs now
Nice one

Thank you very much
Good 👍am trying to learn Forklift equipment
Thanks you my brother
Nice Thanks 👍🏽
you should beep when reversing, also dismount backwards while having 3 spots of contact.
Thank you so much for the education but my question to you is u want to know weather forklift is automatic or manual?
Tnx for sharing lods im here sending my love and support
Wow that was interesting.
Ur video helps I have a wear house interview tomorrow and they need a 1year at least of experience I have none lmao 😂
Just lie and act like you know
@@om96 I did lie lmao it went good next week on Wednesday they will let me know if I got the job
@@chatohead7047 did u get the job?
@@ErickyYari no I did not their was only one position open and someone else got it I was like fuckkkkkkkk but it’s a good doe
if you passed your driving , you can do this .
Safety , check , look , apply basic common sense. and it will be all good.
good view. smashed it lad.
What about loading and uploading a truck? Haven't seen any videos on it and I need to learn by tomorrow
How many of us have gotten into a normal car and hit the blinker thinking it was reverse and drive? I can not be the only obe
Right here
Have done so many times in my car after finishing a shift
Every time I work a night shift and I go to grab my hard hat
😂 never fails!
No body:
Truckers unloading their trailers by hand:
Me driving past them on a forklift:
*beep beep*
Thank you 🙏
Is nice i learned alot
Glad I could be of help! Thank you for watching :)
1st viewer! ✌🏾
Oh man, this looks so fun but only in a quite environment. I don’t like chaotic work place
Very well said :)
depends on your work space, could be working in an orchid, factory setting or at the back of your local grocerie store load and deloading trucks.
Will you post your safety pre-op checklist, if you can?
good video
Nice 👍👍
This is why I hate working jobs in 2021. Everything has to be freaking rocket science with "safety" and "precautions" and "policies"
good job
damn them forks seen better days.
And anytime u get down too, u have to get down on that same left side of the forklift
Thank you sir
I wish u were in Ottawa so dat u could teach me

I'm actually a Folklift trainee but i want to ask a question please
What if the load you carry obstruct your view and you are to move on a reverse direction now if it is that where you should drop the load is at your back and you are reversing how will you turn and drop the load when you have reversed already and there is no space
Thank you
thank you lot!
any tips of picking up a pallet from high racking on counterbalance ?
yes use tilt
It’s like the forklift is speaking to me
Is that pedal on the left a clutch? I saw you release it when you start moving
You could treat that clutch as a brake works the same.
is there a clutch to press when shifting gears, or coming to a full stop?? thank you.
Sometimes, got one at my work that has a clutch but it’s only one gear and you have to keep the revs up to not stall it.
pretty much a golf cart
Thanks
Start my class april 24th 2023. Wish me luck.
I will like to also start . Can you please help in finding a trainer ?...
You failed to look over both shoulders when reversing in the video. That would cause you to fail in a forklift practical test!
He ain’t doing practice
It would give him 5 penalty points on a practical test in the UK
@@mcscas68 As an instructor myself I would have failed him, no problem!!

*** Please answer !! ***
How do I get certified ?
I'm in NJ.
Are the forks adjustable or are they preset to all pallets ?
They're adjustable. They have pins on top of them that you pull up on and it allows you to move the forks closer together or further apart. Of course you have to be off the lift to do these and need the forks a few feet in the air.
