These photos are all from my last download, the trip away to Queensland for my yoga training, and trip back home again through Canberra. I really disliked the feeling of the Gold Coast, all new concrete structures, curving roads, curving buildings, curving roofs, no natural materials in sight. The “lakes” were dead-looking muddy water, far from tidal cleansing. Houses, buildings and paving covered the land (the original swamp lands were drained and converted in to man-made waterways and artificial islands for prestige housing) except for designated open space, where drainage canals doubled as “ponds” with water plants and a few birds. It feels horrible to me but obviously many people love it as it is Australia’s 6th most populous city. This post suits Cee’s Circles and Curves challenge perfectly!

Other curves in this post tell a little of my flying experiences, all very pleasant and peaceful, especially the flight from Gold Coast to Sydney when I was seated between two really lovely men, who chatted to me about their lives, and shared their lunch with me too …. since our pilot had to make his own fancy curves weaving inland to escape some huge storm cells powering along the coast. After our ballet moves through the air the seatbelt sign finally went off and food and water could be delivered by the staff, but only to those who had pre-ordered. In no time at all they were scuttling along the aisles gathering our rubbish as the plane came down to land at Sydney. The gentleman on my right excitedly showed me his house as we flew right over it, before doubling back to land in beautiful Sydney.

The Gold Coast forklift licence specialists.

Read the operators manual and manufacture’s handbook before attempting to complete the checks needed and to familiarise yourself with the components of your forklift.

 The main purpose of pre operational checks:

• Identify and report damage or faults
• check for leaks
• Prevent accidents
• Maintain the forklift

Making sure that the forklift is in a safe area, away from pedestrians and overhead obstructions, you can split the checks into three sections –

1. External check
2. Internal check
3. Operational check

The External check

Check the forks (tines) for any visible signs of cracks and that they are evenly spaced and locked into place with locking pins.

The load backrest guard is free from damage

The mast and assembly is in good condition and that there are no leakage from the hoses

The wheels and tyres and in good condition and that they have the right pressure (if pneumatic) and that there is no shrink-wrap caught behind them.

The overhead guard is fitted and secure with no damage

The Data plate (rated capacity plate) is fitted and is legible

The general condition of the forklift (especially around the counterweight) and that the cabin is clean and free of rubbish)

The Internal check

Check the engine compartment for leaks and that the hoses are in good condition, the fan belt has got good tension and that the filters are clean.

The battery is secure and in good condition, the electrolyte level is topped up (consult the operator’s manual for levels and use personal protective equipment as the battery contains acid.

Check the engine oil, transmission oil and coolant that the levels are within the limits

Make sure you have enough fuel e.g. LPG, Electric, Diesel depending on the forklift you are using and if using LPG make sure the cylinder is in good condition and has no leaks (also check that it is in date)

Hydraulic oil that it is topped up and the level is within the limits

Brake fluid and power steering levels (if applicable) are within limits

The seat is in good condition and the seat belt is securely fitted and in good operation (this could save your life)

The Operational check   

Get into the cabin using the correct technique (3 points of contact from the left side), Make sure the controls are in neutral and the handbrake is on. Insert the key and start the engine (as per operators manual)

Check that all the gauges and warning devices are working (horn, lights, reversing beeper, flashing light and any other devices) that are fitted to your forklift.

Using the correct hydraulic levers raise the forks to the highest level and then lower, use your tilt lever and make sure you have full movement back and forth, same with side shift and any other levers that are on the forklift has full movement.

Move the forklift slowly and check that the brakes are working in both directions and that the handbrake is working and holds the forklift in place when forward gear is engaged.

A forklift is a hydraulic powered truck used to transport goods and materials. The first modern forklifts were made in the 1920′s by multiple companies. Two of them were Clark company and Yale & Town company. The way the lift works is by hydraulic systems that lift and lower your load easily.
There are many designs of forklifts available on the market, always evolving with the newest needs of the consumer. The standard is the hand pallet or pallet truck. This is used in stores and warehouses because it’s not driven and does not require special training to use like a forklift. Then there is the towing tractor, sod loader. The side loader is for longer loads that don’t fit on a standard pallet truck. The reach truck is designed for smaller areas with more height capabilities. They even now have explosion proof trucks which are used in industries that deal with any chemical, pharmaceutical, food, drink, or any other flammable material.
To keep up with the different needs of consumers there are some attachments available for forklifts. Some of the most common attachments used now include the side shifter. This is a hydraulic attachment which gives the operator the ability to move the forks laterally. Also prevents the need to have to position the truck differently in specific areas. If needed to move any large long tubes like a rolled up carpet, they have pole attachment available. The man basket is a basket that is attached to the forks and used to lift a person up to a specific height safely in order to load things separately off a pallet. Scales are also available and seem to be more widely purchased. If you need to weigh a pallet of materials, instead of having to load the pallet on the forklift, place it on the scale, remove forks from pallet so it’s stand alone on the scale, note the weight, then lift back up and bring back to where it needed to be, you can now attach the scale and pick up your pallet. It will weigh the materials while on the forklift and you can just place it where need be after weighed.
One of the most important things taught in the safety training is that if you place any attachments on your forklift, it will reduce the load allowance of the forklift. If you go over the load allowance with the attachments on it, you risk injury to yourself or others because forklifts will be off-load and can easily tip on turning. As always, maintain safety while operating any heavy machinery.

Before you drive the forklift you must check it to make sure it is safe to use, the forklift can be a dangerous machine if it is faulty or if the operator does not fully understand how to use it.

Read the operators manual and manufacture’s handbook before attempting to complete the checks needed and to familiarise yourself with the components of your forklift.

 The main purpose of pre operational checks:

• Identify and report damage or faults
• check for leaks
• Prevent accidents
• Maintain the forklift

What is involved in the Forklift Test? What are they going to get me to do? 

With regards to the Forklift Test, I will try and make it simple and easy to understand.

before an applicant can undertake a practical test they must have completed their structured training and also on the job training documented in a log book and signed off by a licenced Supervisor.

Think of the forklift test in three parts:

Element 1

• Pre Operational Check of the Forklift Truck.
• Inspection of the work site
• identification of work site hazards and the selection of control measures
• Checking controls on Equipment

Element 2

• Operation of Forklift Truck, including the movement of various loads, pick up and placement of loads from low, medium and high level racking
• Shifting & Stacking Loads
• Loading and Unloading

Element 3

• Correct shut down and parking procedure for Forklift Truck.
• Securing the site

You will be asked some questions either during or after the assessment to establish the reasons for your decisions and actions.

Don’t be frightened as the assessor will use his / her discretion in assessing competence under each criteria.
