(Reach Truck, Order Picker, Side Loader)

Duration: 4 – 6 hrs
Location: At your location

Narrow Aisle Forklift Training is a specialized program for operators who need certification to safely use narrow aisle forklifts in warehouses and distribution centers. A narrow aisle forklift is designed to move efficiently in tight spaces, making it an essential piece of equipment in modern storage facilities. However, operating a narrow aisle forklift requires precision, awareness, and safety knowledge beyond general forklift operation.

Our Narrow Aisle Forklift Course provides both theory and hands-on practice to prepare participants for real workplace conditions. Trainees will learn how to inspect and operate a narrow aisle forklift, understand load capacities, and maneuver safely in confined areas. Also referred to as reach trucks or high reach forklifts, these machines require operators to be highly skilled, which is why completing Narrow Aisle Forklift Certification is so important.

By enrolling in Narrow Aisle Forklift Training, participants gain the knowledge and credentials needed to improve workplace safety, meet WorkSafeBC requirements, and expand their job opportunities.

Course Outline & Content

Narrow Aisle Forklift Training

Phase 1 – Theory Training

Trainees are guided through a comprehensive & interactive review of the operators workbook covering:

  • Rules / Regulations

  • Types Of Forklifts

  • Main Parts & Functions

  • Forklift Safety

  • Leverage

  • Centre Of Gravity

  • Stability Triangle / Pyramid

  • Safe Operation / Shutdown

Phase 2 – Theory Evaluation

Upon theory completion, participants will take part in a knowledge review test consisting of multiple choice, true/false and essay-type questions. These test are graded and returned to the trainees then reviewed to ensure proper retention. A minimum score of 70% is required to pass.

NOTE: Anyone with known difficulties to English/written based tests must be accompanied by an interpreter or consult us about any difficulties that may arise.

Phase 3 – Practical Training

Trainees are shown the pre-use inspection, machine controls and safe operating procedures then given the opportunity to practice under the helpful eye of the program trainer.

Phase 4 – Practical Evaluation

Trainees are assessed as having reached a minimum level of skill and are then individually evaluated using the equipment in a series of skill reinforcing scenarios. Following the evaluation, trainees are debriefed about their performance then given the opportunity to address any issues they may have. Each trainee’s records will be handed to the employer (or trainee) after completion of the program.

COURSE MATERIAL PROVIDED:
  • Workbook

  • Supplementary Handouts

  • Wallet Card Certification (upon successful completion)

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

The program takes part in a classroom for theory learning but participation in the field is vital to successful completion. Participants are required to bring all site required PPE including:

  • Steel toed work boots
  • High visibility vest
  • Hard hat (if required)
  • Any other PPE required by the workplace

NOTE: Because previous training is hard to judge from one training company to another, re-certification courses will only be made available to individuals able to present proof of previous training from Clockwork Safety & Equipment Training or another widely credible source. In-house training at a previous employer will NOT suffice.
