Walkie Stacker Safety (CAN)
Walkie stackers give warehouse and distribution crews the maneuverability to move and stack loads in narrow aisles and tight spaces, all while walking alongside the machine. But operating on foot at floor level, right next to the wheels, straddle legs, and a load that can be lifted overhead, means these machines carry serious risks, including crushed feet, pinning injuries, tip-overs, and falling loads. Skipping inspections or ignoring safe operating procedures is how those risks turn into injuries, which is exactly why proper training matters. In this course, we'll cover walkie stacker components and controls, pre-operational inspections, stability and load management, safe operation and route planning, battery charging, hazard identification, and emergency response.

What You'll Learn
- Walkie Stackers vs. Other Lift Trucks: Applications and Limitations
- Walkie Stacker Components, Safety Features, and Tiller Head Controls
- Pre-Operational Inspections (Visual and Operational)
- Stability Principles and Load Management
- Safe Operating Procedures
- Route Planning and Worksite Awareness
- Navigating Tight Spaces, Ramps, and Slopes
- Battery Charging and Handling
- Hazard Identification and Mitigation
- Emergency Response Procedures
About This Course
Walkie stackers are compact, walk-behind lift trucks built for tight indoor spaces like warehouses and distribution centres, where narrow aisles and frequent on-and-off handling are part of the job. Because you walk beside the machine rather than ride in it, you share the floor with the load and the wheels, which introduces hazards you would not face on a rider truck, from crushed feet to being pinned against a rack. Understanding the machine's components, limitations, and safe operating procedures is what keeps every lift a safe lift.

- List when to use a walkie stacker
- Name the differences between a walkie stacker and other lift trucks

- Perform daily maintenance and safety checks
- Understand the basic principles of walkie stacker operation

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?
When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
