Why Do I Need Walkie Stacker Safety Training?
In line with OSHA requirements, anyone who operates heavy equipment must receive training prior to operating the machine on their own. OSHA requirements for refresher training related to forklifts or other processes are very specific. Most other equipment doesn’t have such specific requirements, but it’s wise to follow the same guidelines.
When it comes to refresher training, OSHA’s standard in some instances (like forklifts) are very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer, but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.
Our walkie stacker safety training can help satisfy these requirements by laying out important principles and guidelines for safely handling a walkie stacker. Operators will learn about the working parts of the machine as well as what signs of malfunction and damage they should look for each day. They will learn how to keep a walkie stacker stable and be briefed on the dangers of mishandling heavy loads. The training also includes instructions for maneuvering the walkie stacker cautiously through the worksite while avoiding collisions and pinch-point hazards. In just a short time, our training can prepare both new and longtime employees to operate these versatile machines safely and effectively.
Why Use a Walkie Stacker Training?
Walkie stackers are most commonly used inside storerooms and smaller warehouses where a riding forklift is not altogether necessary. They aren’t as complicated to use as riding forklifts, but they are still considered powered trucks. This means that regulations still require employees to be specifically trained and certified to use them. Walkie stacker operators need to be taught to recognize the hazards common to warehouses and retail floors. These include how to read floor markings and maneuver safely around other vehicles. They also need to know the ins and outs of the specific brand and model of their machine. And of course, every operator needs to pass both a written and practical exam before using any machine around the worksite.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a walkie stacker considered a forklift?
A walkie stacker is considered a type of forklift. OSHA Requirements categorize both walkie stackers and forklifts as powered industrial trucks. They share the same function in loading and unloading heavy objects using forks, but are not the same in how they travel.
What is the triangle of stability of a walkie stacker?
The triangle of stability, like most forklifts, is the front wheels pointing back to the back wheel. So long as the center of gravity of the walkie stacker falls within this triangle, the walkie stacker will be stable.
How much does a walkie stacker battery weigh?
Walkie stacker batteries are incredibly heavy, weighing on average 2,000 pounds or more.
How do you engage the brakes on a walkie stacker?
The brakes are engaged on a walkie stacker when the control handle is either fully extended up or pulled all the way down.
