I have over three years of experience operating various types of MHE, including forklifts, pallet jacks, and reach trucks. I am proficient in safely maneuvering equipment in tight spaces, loading and unloading materials, and ensuring proper stacking and storage. My experience also includes conducting pre-operation inspections and maintaining equipment to ensure optimal performance.

Safety is my top priority when operating MHE. I always follow OSHA guidelines and company safety protocols, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, and conduct thorough inspections before each use. I also ensure that my workspace is clear of obstacles and that I communicate effectively with team members to avoid accidents.

One challenge I faced was operating a forklift in a crowded warehouse with limited visibility. To overcome this, I utilized mirrors and relied on clear communication with my team to navigate safely. I also practiced precision driving to minimize risks and ensure smooth operations.

I remain calm and focused during stressful situations by prioritizing tasks and maintaining a clear plan of action. I also communicate with my team to coordinate efforts and ensure efficient workflow. By staying organized and proactive, I can meet tight deadlines without compromising safety or quality.

My process for conducting a pre-operation inspection includes checking the fuel levels, inspecting the tires for proper inflation, ensuring all safety mechanisms are functioning, and testing the controls and brakes. I also look for any visible damage or leaks and document the findings. This ensures that the equipment is safe and ready for use.
