Forklift Fundamentals & Truck Classes
29 CFR 1910.178 basics: the powered-industrial-truck classes, main components, and why certification is truck- and workplace-specific.
- •Learn the truck classes (sit-down counterbalance, reach truck, order picker, rough-terrain) and how they differ
- •Drill operator qualification, training, and re-evaluation rules (at least every three years)
- •Flashcards: forklift components and data-plate information
- Week 2 Plan
Stability & Load Handling
The highest-yield topic: the stability triangle, load center, and how load weight and mast tilt shift the center of gravity.
- •Master the stability triangle and how center of gravity moves under load
- •Work rated-capacity and tip-over problems using load weight, load center, and lift height
- •Drill safe load handling: tilting, stacking, and traveling on ramps
- Week 3 Plan
Inspection & Safe Operation
The pre-shift inspection checklist plus the safe-operation rules that dominate the written test.
- •Memorize the pre-operation inspection checklist and when to remove a truck from service
- •Cover safe operation: sound the horn at intersections, no riders, travel with forks low, look in the direction of travel
- •Review refueling/battery charging, pedestrian safety, and dock/trailer hazards
- Week 4 Plan
Timed Mock Exams
Full timed knowledge tests, then review every miss before your hands-on evaluation.
- •Two full-length timed mock exams covering stability, inspection, and safe operation
- •Review every missed question with the AI tutor
- •Target a consistent 80%+ — comfortably above the typical 70–80% passing threshold
