Pallet Truck Safety

Get the pallet truck safety training in only 13 minutes. We know managing time in this busy schedule is not easy. It is required for employees to get pallet truck safety training to avoid hazardous situations. Operating a pallet truck is quite different. It is not similar to other industrial trucks, such as forklifts. The use of pallet trucks is usually common in distribution centers or warehouses. This tool is used to move and lift objects, which poses significant risks. It is important to understand how to operate pallet trucks safely to avoid injuries from tip-over or crushing. Our online pallet truck safety training focuses on equipment operations and their types, preparing for operators such as fuel change or visual inspection, speed, and stability, or what to do if pallet trucks tip or fall. This course highlights the importance and safety protocols of handling manual and powered pallet trucks to mitigate risk.
