Content of Telehandler training
Everything you need to know to begin your new career
Components
Can you identify and explain the main components of the telehandler, such as the boom and stabilizers, and describe how the controls function? Understanding the purpose of each part and the terminology used is key to operating the machine effectively.
Checks
Are you able to perform pre-start and running checks in line with the manufacturer’s manual? Can you ensure compliance with relevant safety regulations and legislation? These checks help maintain equipment performance and safety on-site.
Configuration
Can you configure the telehandler for both on-site operations and highway travel? This involves adjusting the machine to suit different working environments and ensuring it meets the necessary conditions for safe travel.
Travel
Are you capable of driving the telehandler forward and in reverse, through tight spaces, and on different terrains like level ground, inclines, and rough surfaces? Can you manage these tasks both with and without loads, including handling hill starts?
Lifting
Can you safely set up the telehandler to lift a variety of loads within its working range, secure them for transport, and ensure load stability? Proper handling and positioning of loads are crucial for maintaining operational safety.
Placing
Can you place and retrieve loads accurately on structures like towers or vehicle beds while keeping within the telehandler's safe working limits? Precision is essential for ensuring tasks are completed safely and efficiently.
Shutdown
Are you familiar with the proper shutdown and securing procedures for the telehandler? Ensuring the machine is safely powered down and secured is vital for preventing accidents and maintaining the equipment.
Transport
Can you explain the correct process for loading and unloading the telehandler during transport? Following proper procedures helps to avoid damage and ensures the machine is safely moved between sites.
