Rules for driving a forklift

A forklift is a machine with the function of lifting loads and moving them around the territory of an enterprise.

Such special equipment comes in various types depending on:

• type of cargo grip (fork, bucket);
• engine type (can run on electricity or diesel, gasoline or gas fuel);
• type of tires (pneumatic, solid);
• type of lift location (side and front).

The specific work of driving a forklift is associated with a certain danger both for the driver himself and for others, especially in enclosed spaces where space is limited, such as a warehouse or supermarket. The risk of injuries and accidents in such conditions is quite high

Therefore, when working on such special equipment, it is important to consider:

• vehicle dimensions;
• the possible height to which the load is lifted;
• maximum lifting capacity of equipment;
• the ability to attach attachments;
• management specifics;
• transmission type.

Learning to drive a type of equipment such as a forklift helps to avoid work-related injuries.

Questions and answers

After studying any theory, questions always arise during practical development. This does not mean that the student has not learned the material well.

Important Which cultivator oil can be poured into the engine or gearbox

There is simply information that is well absorbed when studying theory, while others can only be learned in practice:

1. What is the average cost of a forklift course and how long is the course? The training time at a special center depends on the complexity of the selected vehicle. Total class time: 160 - 320 academic hours. The full cost of the course depends on the number of hours. The price is determined by the management of the organization based on the internal features of the driving school, the number of applicants, the specifics of the region, the level of teaching, etc. The average price of courses for obtaining a category for a forklift in the Russian Federation is from 7 to 11 thousand rubles.
2. What's included in the program? The standard program of a special course includes the study of: vehicle design; specifics of loading, unloading, lifting and moving cargo; rules of movement inside warehouse premises; security basics and the use of special terminology.
3. Does a certificate issued at a training center give you the right to drive special equipment, in particular a forklift? The right to drive loading and unloading vehicles is given by a driver’s license issued by Gostekhnadzor for 10 years, while a temporary certificate from a training center allows you to contact Gostekhnadzor with a request to issue an official license.
4. Where are temporary certificates processed and issued? Tractor driver licenses are issued at specialized driving schools. There are such centers in many cities of the Russian Federation. The majority of certified driving schools issue certificates at the place of registration, that is, where you live is where you study. Only certain special centers in the Russian Federation have the right to train non-residents, for example, the Training Center “Specialist” Mytishchi, Moscow. Information about the capabilities of training centers can be found on the official pages of the organizations.
5. Is it possible to take your license remotely? Distance learning is available and has become increasingly popular in recent years - online classes are cheaper and more convenient. Many driving schools in the Russian Federation have switched or are preparing to switch to a similar form of training. To make sure that the service is available in the center’s price list, visit the website of the selected school. Practical driving, during distance learning, takes place at the place of work: the employer fills out a special form daily, which the student then presents at the exam.
6. Do I need a medical certificate to obtain a forklift license? A medical certificate for obtaining a driver's license is a mandatory document, without which a license will not be issued. A medical certificate confirms the physical fitness and mental adequacy of the person driving the vehicle.

The document was approved by the Ministry of Health; the certificate contains information about medical contraindications, indications and damage for this transport category. The medical certificate has an individual number, series and special protection.

The certificate is issued when applying for a driver’s license, when opening new categories and receiving a new license instead of an expired one.

Interesting information:

Having the qualification “Bulldozer Operator” gives the right to perform labor functions (work) on all types, models, brands of self-propelled machines and vehicles equipped with a bulldozer blade, regardless of the manufacturer.

Current changes in the rights of a tractor driver

In addition to the abolition of temporary licenses, the concept of "self-training" was also abolished. In other words, for a long period of time it was possible, without approval from the technical control department, to simply pass theoretical and practical driving tests and obtain a tractor license. Now - no, because a mandatory condition for admission to the exam is a certificate of completion of the course from the State Technical Supervision.

The current version of the tractor driver's license was introduced in 2011. This is a laminated cardboard or plastic card with information about the owner and a printed photo. Cardboard or plastic - at the discretion of the recipient (the plastic version is more expensive).

Now, in addition to the individual number, the tractor driver’s certificate contains a unique barcode. According to the creators of the new document, this simplifies the actions of the inspector. There is no need to send the details of the tractor driver to Gostekhnadzor in order to obtain additional information (unpaid fines, etc.).

Several years ago, a new type of rights was introduced in the Russian Federation. These are evidences that have several categories and subcategories.

Peculiarities

The category of self-propelled vehicles contains the name of a vehicle that has certain parameters:

1. ICE (internal combustion engine) - volume greater than 50 cubic centimeters.
2. Electric motor – power over 4 kW.

Certificates that allow you to drive self-propelled vehicles are tractor driver’s licenses. They contain six categories, four subcategories and are designated by Latin numbers and letters. Indicated in documents of a new format that have permanent and temporary validity.

Unlike driver's licenses issued by the National Road Traffic Inspectorate, tractor licenses are issued by Gostekhnadzor. There, diagnostics are carried out using self-propelled equipment.
