Refresher training usually happens every 3-5 years, but there are exceptions for those who have been away for a while.

The purpose of refresher training is to go over any issues, revisit best practices, and make sure everything is safe, efficient, and compliant.

It's crucial for infrequent users, operators who have had unsafe practices or incidents, and anyone facing major changes in their work habits or environment to get refresher training. This helps avoid injuries and keeps operators available.

Forklift Examination/thorough in the West Midlands

When do you need a LOLER/thorough examination?

Forklift trucks need to be tested on a regular basis.

Any forklift operating up to 40 hours per week without attachments beyond a sideshift requires examination every 12 months.

Any forklift used for elevating individuals, even if infrequently, must have an examination every 6 months.

Any attachment that is not permanently attached to a forklift must be examined every 6 months.

Any forklift that operates for more than 80 hours per week requires examination every 4 months.

Any forklift working in a hazardous environment, including a marine setting, corrosive chemical environment, metal manufacturing or processing environment, cement/aggregate
processing, or in the presence of abrasive particles or brine applications, must be examined every 4 months.

Any attachment that is permanently attached to a truck will follow the same LOLER examination schedule as the truck itself.

Drive a forklift? Here are some tips from atlas forklift ...

Driving a can be result in stress and fatigue.

We've prepared some tips to help you....

Try to keep arms straight, but not stiff. Relax your arms as much as possible when using the forklift's steering wheel. Sit in the seat and keep your posture straight - don't arch your shoulders. Also make sure you are sitting right back in the seat.

If you can adjust the position of the steering, so you can reach controls comfortably.

When not using the pedals, keep feet flat.

Always make sure you adhere to the policy of "safety first."

When driving the forklift, make sure you are operating at a safe speed which is relevant to the environment. Be very conscious of your surroundings. Avoid sudden braking and other sudden
movements. To relieve muscle tension, shake arms, and take regular breaks such as a short walk, and also do some stretching exercises. Do not use the forklift if you are tired, have consumed alcohol or drugs.

Tough and Reliable

For tougher jobs, diesel forklifts are built to last, providing strength and durability for a longer lifespan in challenging conditions.

The robust nature of a diesel forklift makes it perfect for lifting heavy loads and maneuvering over rough terrains, slopes, wet surfaces, and more.

Best for the Outdoors

When it comes to outdoor operations, diesel forklifts are the top choice. They outperform electric and gas forklifts in terms of resilience and efficiency in outdoor settings.

Easy to Maintain

Thanks to their sturdy design, long-lasting nature, and simpler mechanics, diesel engines require less maintenance than electric ones, which helps keep maintenance costs down.

Powerful Performance

With superior torque and faster acceleration, diesel forklifts deliver the most power among the three types. This allows them to effectively manage heavier loads for lifting, transporting, and towing tasks.
