What's Covered

Introduction
Importance of Training

Motorized pallet jacks are just as numerous and pose the same kinds of hazards that forklifts do
Consequences if they’re misused or not operated properly
Operators need to be trained on the specific type of powered industrial truck they operate. If an operator is trained and certified to operate a forklift it doesn’t mean they’re automatically qualified to operate a motorized pallet jack

Operations and Controls

There are many different models of motorized pallet jacks offered by many different manufacturers
Most common models used in workplaces are “walkie” or “walkie-rider” models
Lift height and weight capacity vary by manufacturer and model but most can lift a load as high as 6 inches off the ground and can carry as much as 8,000 lbs
Steering handle regulates the lift, lower, speed, direction and braking

Common differences among manufacturers and models include:
Where the controls are located
How high the carriage can lift
Load capacity

It’s important that each operator be properly trained on the specific model they are about to use

Accidents

Most accidents are the result of an operator not following safe operating procedures or being unfamiliar with the controls of a specific model of pallet jack. Reported accidents include:

Pedestrians getting caught between the pallet jack and a fixed object
Pedestrians having their feet or toes run over
Pedestrians hit by a falling load (due to an unsecured load and/or too fast turn)
Operators engaging in horseplay such as riding on a walkie pallet jack
Operators are crushed or even killed by a pallet jack that rolls off the edge of a ramp or loading dock

Safe Operating Procedures

Pre-Use Inspection: The importance of inspecting the pallet jack prior to each use to ensure that any defects are reported and fixed before it is used
Getting a Load: Proper techniques on approaching and securing a load
Traveling with a Load: The “do’s” and “don’ts” when traveling with a load including safe travel heights, proper sight lines, correct hand positions on the controls, negotiating intersections, safe turning, and more
Navigating on ramps and inclines
Maneuvering in tight spaces
Delivering a Load: Safe operating techniques such as coming to a complete stop before lowering the load and making sure the forks are completely lowered before pulling out
Parking: Rules and what steps to follow when parking a pallet jack
End of Shift: Proper procedures for shutting down and storing a pallet jack for the next day’s use
