June 1st 2008

Reducing the risks of operating materials handling equipment is the responsibility of all managers and supervisors.

Mentor's new range of DVDs focussing on the safe operation of a range of forklift types help the process.

The Lifters DVDs have been scripted and filmed in a variety of working applications to show new and experienced operators proper methods in 5 easy to understand stages. Part 1 is an introductory film that covers the basics of health and safety relating to fork trucks, pre shift inspections and the principles of stability and the safe operation of counterbalance trucks.

Parts 2 to 5 focus on the safe operation of different types of forklift truck; reach trucks, powered pallet trucks, low level order pickers and support arm stackers, VNA trucks and pivot Steer trucks.
