Introduction

Operating a forklift has been aligned to registered unit standards.  You will be assessed against the outcomes of the unit standards by completing a knowledge assignment that covers the essential embedded knowledge stipulated in the unit standards, and by compiling a portfolio of evidence that provides proof of your ability to apply the learning to your work situation.

Persons credited with this Unit Standard are able to operate a counter-balanced lift truck in a safe manner.

They will also be able to conduct pre and post inspections to ensure the performance of the lift truck to handle the loading and storage of freight by using the equipment and its accessories in the required manner. They will also be able to access emergency systems and services in the event of an incident or accident.
