Material handling involves lifting, transporting and storing of objects. It can be done manually or with the aid of equipment (MHE) such as trolleys, forklift trucks, chain blocks etc.
But in order to operate these MHEs, it is important for the operators to familiarize with the handling of equipment.
Operating MHEs
Many of you might think that anyone can operate an MHE. But NO you can’t!.
Due to the dangerous aspects of the MHEs, professional training is required to operate these equipments.
In order to operate these MHEs, the operators are required to attend courses to obtain a license. Through these courses, the operators will go taught on the vehicle’s operation, safe driving and hazard awareness. These allow forklift drivers to have the sufficient hands-on experience in driving forklift as well as stacking and unloading of goods. The final evaluation will include a theory and a practical test whereby the participants will be put to the test.
Type of Licenses
Level 1 License
1) A great starter for new Forklift Drivers.
2) Level 1 license is for drivers with less than 1 year experience.
3) Training manual required with this type of license.
Level 2 License
1) Negotiate a better pay rate with this most advanced Forklift License
2) Level 2 License recommended for Drivers with a 1 year or more experienced level.
3) Experience license gets you more jobs quickly at higher rate per hour.
Better job opportunities
In the industry, one with a forklift license would stand a higher chance in getting a job in the warehouse rather than one without any experience as it help the company to save time and will not incur extra expenses to send new staffs for forklift driving trainings.
Where can you apply for training for Forklift Driving?
From our research, we had found out that Singapore Manufacturers’ Federation (SMa) do provide training for forklift driving. SMa Centre of Coporate Learning is an Accredited Training Provider for the Forklift Driver’s Training Course (below 5 tonnes), which is an SRP-approved prgramme. From SMa’s website (http://www.smafederation.org.sg/CentreForCorporateLearning/tabid/146/grm2id/26/Default.aspx) , it stated that they have trained a total of 2,000 forklift operators!
