Frequently Asked Questions
If you can’t see your question, feel free to contact us and we can answer any queries you may have
- What is sideloader forklift training?
Sideloaders are sideways-loading forklifts. Training teaches operators how to load/unload long or bulky items running parallel to racks, focusing on balance and visibility.
- When is sideloader training particularly useful?
When handling long materials like timber, pipes, or sheets, sideloader training ensures safe and efficient lateral operations in warehouses or yards.
- What key areas are covered in sideloader training?
Operators learn load balancing, spatial awareness, turning mechanics with side-mounted loads and safe procedural checks.
- Is sideloader training transferable to other forklift types?
No, specific training is needed because sideloaders operate and balance loads differently compared to standard forklifts.
- How frequently should sideloader operators retrain?
A refresher or evaluation every three years, sooner if equipment or working conditions change is considered best practice.
