Forklifts are extremely useful vehicles for loading and unloading loads as long as they are used safely and operators are fully trained and proved to be competent. Many developments took place during the mid- nineteenth and early twentieth century that led to today’s forklift design, but the modern forklift was developed in the 1920’s by various companies. Since then it has become an indispensable piece of equipment in modern manufacturing and warehousing operations. Complies with current Forklift guidelines. The book contains colourful pictures, illustrations and humorous sketches for easy reading. Ideal for reference on forklift training courses. The appendix contains handy tear out Authorisation to Operate Lift Trucks form, Racking Inspection Log, Pre-Use Checklist (Daily and Weekly) forms, Traction Battery log and an Acknowledgement form for completion of the training.
