  • Maintaining "The Bubble": Keeping a safe distance (usually three forklift lengths) from other vehicles and keeping people away from a raised load.
  • Communication: Using horns, lights, and eye contact to signal intent to ground workers.
  • Floor Awareness: Identifying hazards like oil spills, loose gravel, or uneven dock plates that could cause a tip-over.

Skills
  • Cherry Picking
  • Pallet Jack Operation
  • Maintenance
  • Basic Computer Skills
