Appreciate the comment and agree it is a vital part of the machine and should be delivered to operators so they can make the appropriate actions required
sorry, but this is not the right way to position this type of reachtruck. 1 you don't approach a load with the forks in front of you - 2 the pivotpoint is correct for trucks with 180° stearing. This reachtruck has a 360° stearing.... - couldn't resist. For correct information; look at this link: czcams.com/video/KqNqV7aTxW0/video.html
Hope you did or do well. As far as conversion from counterbalance to reach the principals are the same only 1 extra motion/ operation. Opposite turning is the difficult bit to remember 🙃
a good thing to learn is a pivot point going forward from the middle of the aisle. you just turn towards the far edge of the pallet and then swing the other direction. it takes a bit to learn but really saves a lot of time because you don't have to switch to driving forks first.
I disagree with the narrative suggesting that you rear back forks when you are taking a pallet out of the racking. You should always leave forks level as to prevent accidents because if you rear back forks the front of the forks are higher and could cause a accident if pallet is taller.
Always level everywhere I went. Not "the company rule", but just made sense. You need to keep an eye out for tall pallets. Or in warehouses where the height of pallet slots can vary quite markedly all over the warehouse. Damaged a bar once due to assuming the employer was like my previous one for that

Yes Peter it's not for everyone and as an instructor it's my job to insure the operator and the company have the correct systems in place to provide a efficient and safe work force.
@@djfab3000 That's all what people are. Applications who you add and remove, systems.. In practice failing a course is sentenced to never be able to use your license on big companies. The truth is that schools are gatekeepers and people are drafted from the school.
@@robertagren9360 no. Systems are 'safe systems or procedures or ways of doing things'. They are not just a simple set of instructions, they are mindset too. That's why researching and understanding what you are getting involved with, what can happen if you get it wrong, and the principles around operating your truck safely are important. Now go try again 😬
In some ways it's a young person's game. 1st attempt to get the reach flt cert failed, aged 52, after 2 days (with 1 more day allocated) I was chucked off, the agency trainer said it was not for me. Got another go, with an in-house trainer (thanks Mikey at Tesco) & he felt after 5 days I was ok to let loose. It can be a very stressful job & physically hard off the truck. Felt myself nodding off on occasion on put-aways. And I learnt what chillblains are, in an unheated warehouse 😞(they suck).
@@robertagren9360 Maybe true in the USA but not my experience in the UK. Got a 2nd go. Never killed or injured anyone 🙂, a few pallets "down" & dents to racking in 10 + years but when you're all under pressure to hit targets, that's inevitable unless you're a human robot
Loo roll's nothing, colleagues dropped 750kg of wine bottles/packs onto her truck from 9 - 10 metres. Another operator was seen driving a truck with little shards of glass impaled in his shiny top of head. Thrills & spills at times
Hey, we have people here that drive 2 epals at a time with reach out (one fork in one pallet). Is it legal to carry multiple pallets at once like this?
I saw that your driver sometimes with hand off of the controls while driving that is a definite no no in any stretch of imagination. Do not ever do that as you can lose control in a instant.
I trained a guy once with 1 eye and 1 arm. So he could not keep 1 hand on at all times. He was a brilliant operator and only operated Hydraulics with Handbrake and neutral applied. The only person that can tell you that you should not operate is a doctor so be careful of discrimination.
I was and am talking about your everyday driver. In our company we do not discriminate but there are allowances for personnel but I am talking about safety as a whole not one obliviously very talented person.
@@djfab3000 Outside of tests & learning phase I never applied brake routinely when operating lift. It might have been a little safer but it's all about time/performance & you find a skilful way of working
6:34 Pivot point. This was what I was looking for. Obvious now but it's crucial information for beginners.
Same for me.I got my license but still struggle with this thing on the new working place.

mee too

2022 still one of the best explaining video
A good old 1990s training video
Thanks aluminium oxide appreciated
Thanks for this very informative video. It makes me more understand how to drive a Forklift on a narrow path
Your very welcome be professional and stay safe
What a splendid tutorial thank you for the upload.
It's the best training video.
Very nice training video
Many thanks for this overview. Am about to do a conversion course and wanted to understand what I'm getting into, lol. Fears abated 😁

I say there old chap, good show!

Always remember that people walking have the right of way. They walk and you stop ,sound horn proceed slowly.
nah, i just make sure they know I´m coming. I always think a skull is not as hard as a fork........and they know it.
This helps thanks
Thank you very much
Спасибо за урок!
I'm training for my certification the steering still gets me but definitely learned a few things
Thanks bro
Your welcome sport06
Good driver

I always rear my forks back unless the skid is like 1,000 lbs+.

Much harder to drive than it appears when watching them being driven in the warehouse. I only lasted just over two days on the in house course.

Your very welcome
I would like to work there 🙂.
I once dropped a full pallet of toilet paper on my reach truck from 12 feet, I am very lucky I survived.
Loo roll's nothing, colleagues dropped 750kg of wine bottles/packs onto her truck from 9 - 10 metres. Another operator was seen driving a truck with little shards of glass impaled in his shiny top of head. Thrills & spills at times
Please arrange Reach Truck operetor job I'm working experience operetor
Or, you know, just pick up the EUR-pallet by the long end, that way your forks go in all the way for maximum load stability.
@@garybea8562 but it also depends on the shelve types in the warehouse. Our warehouse only have shelves where EPAL pallets go in by length.
Increase the distance of the load centre will then reduce the capacity the truck can handle. Thanks marco
Good information thanks for participating guys

@@vincehoffman179 No, unless the truck has a double load setup.

try driving a reach truck in -15 It really sucks, when you have to scan everything. your hands get so cold.
Minus 27°c in the iceland frozen food warehouse. Turn you in to a popsicle
didn't know what chillblains are until I worked in an unheated warehouse. They suck. You wear super-thick gloves, they interfere with your control

Eclater des bières Stella Artois juste pour une vidéo, je suis écœuré !
Aaaah, you wanted to drink them?
No camera?
Oof this is the old model, isn´t it? I think I drive gen 2 or so. Gen 3 is even nicer.
I would say this truck is 1 of my favourites after Toyota bought out BT, it then went a little downhill
