First, the first common question: Who is required to participate in forklift refresher training? All certified forklift operators, no matter how long their working experience is, need to take part in the required refresher training.

The second common question: What core modules should be included in qualified refresher training? As Jianshu New Energy, the specialized supplier of BYD electric forklifts with rich on-site operation service experience, we suggest the training shall cover core content including latest local safety regulations, electric forklift structure characteristics, load limit confirmation, blind spot avoidance, power battery daily maintenance, common fault check and emergency disposal process.
