To A1_s

Its not about feeling more secure or synchronised movements or bieng difficuilt for beginners, Its about the Test standards set down by the Health & Safety executive ( Code of Practise ) You state ""The main topic is safety and an inexperienced operator has trouble with synchronized movements and using 3 functions ( throttle, lift lever, inching pedal)""""""" On a powered machine ( LPG or Diesel ) you need throttle to assist in the lift but in no way do you inch whilst lifting......To put it in a nut shell HAnd brake must be applied and nuetral before any hydrolics are used..

Some will say but it makes the operater to slow.. WRONG the only reason why they cant operate correctly quickly is once there tested most raley use the handbrake and this is where the accidents start... I will state here and now i will drive any fork lift against any experianced operater i will operate correctly they can cut corners on loading a full load they may beat me by 2-3 mins. But at what cost ( Damage to product ) Wear and tear on machine )ettcccc
If your going to train ensure to adhere always to your countries standards here in the UK i feel we have the highest standards and i adhere to them all the reasons we do things for are for SAFETY of the operater and those working within the working enviroment
