Today I took a fork lift class, I will not recieve my certification, but I will learn about all the different fork lifts, the safety precautions, and how to run them.
A fork lift is considered and industrial truck. There are seven different classes of fork lifts, and a daily checklist that must be followed in order to use the fork lifts correctly.
The seven classes; 
1 Electric counter balance rider
2 Elecrtic narrow isle
3 Electric pallet trucks and burden carirrers 
4 Replica of calss 1, except its powered by gas
5 I/C pneumaic 
6 Towing
7 Rough terrain

Plugging- shifting from drive straight to reverse to brake. (regular braking is faster, its takes the length of one forklift to come to 

Dailly checklist- Use material data sheets
