Our Pallet Truck Training Programs

Our training services cover the essential aspects of operating and maintaining pallet trucks, ensuring that operators understand how to use the equipment safely and proficiently. The key areas of focus in our training include:

1. Pre-Use Checks
   Before using any pallet truck, it’s crucial to perform a series of checks to ensure that the equipment is in good working order. Our training covers the following pre-use checks:

   • Inspection of key components: Checking the forks, wheels, and hydraulics for any visible signs of damage or wear.
   • Battery check: For electric pallet trucks, ensuring that the battery is charged and in good condition.
   • Hydraulic system check: Ensuring that the hydraulic pump is functioning properly and there are no leaks.
   • Brakes and steering mechanism: Ensuring that the braking system and steering are operating smoothly.
   • Safety features: Verifying that all safety features, such as alarms or warning lights, are functioning.

   These checks help ensure that your pallet truck is safe to use and ready for operation, reducing the risk of breakdowns or accidents.

2. Correct Operation of the Pallet Truck
   Proper operation of the pallet truck is critical to ensure efficiency and safety. In our training program, operators will learn:

   • Safe driving techniques: How to manoeuvre the pallet truck safely in tight spaces, around obstacles, and during turns.
   • Lifting and lowering loads: Proper techniques for lifting and lowering pallets to avoid accidents or damage to goods.
   • Load handling: Ensuring that loads are balanced correctly and that the operator understands the load capacity limits of the pallet truck.
   • Speed control: How to operate the pallet truck at safe speeds to prevent accidents.

   We focus on real-world scenarios to ensure that operators feel confident and capable in their day-to-day operations.

3. Daily and Weekly Routine Maintenance Checks
   Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your pallet truck and keeping it running smoothly. In this section of the training, operators will learn:

   • Daily maintenance tasks: Checking tyre pressure, cleaning the truck, and inspecting the overall condition of the truck.
   • Weekly maintenance checks: Lubricating moving parts, checking the hydraulic system for leaks, inspecting the battery (for electric models), and ensuring that the truck is ready for a full week of operation.
   • Record keeping: How to document maintenance checks and report any issues that require attention.

   By empowering operators to take responsibility for these routine checks, you can prevent costly repairs and reduce downtime.

4. Simple Troubleshooting
   No equipment is without issues from time to time, which is why it’s important for operators to know how to identify and resolve basic problems. Our training covers:

   • Common pallet truck issues: How to identify issues with the hydraulic system, battery problems, and mechanical failures.
   • Basic troubleshooting steps: What to do when a pallet truck isn’t working correctly, such as checking the power supply, inspecting for visible damage, or adjusting settings.
   • When to call for professional repair: Understanding the limits of basic troubleshooting and knowing when it’s time to contact a technician for more serious issues.

   This helps operators to quickly address minor issues before they escalate, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.

Why Regular Training is Important

Even the most experienced operators can benefit from regular training updates. Over time, equipment and safety regulations may change, and new models may require different operating procedures. Ongoing training ensures that your team is always up-to-date with the latest safety practices and operational techniques.

Additionally, proper training reduces the risk of operator error, extends the lifespan of your pallet trucks, and improves overall workplace safety and efficiency. A well-trained team is an empowered team, ready to handle challenges confidently.
