Frequently Asked Questions About Lifting Equipment
What is the difference between a standard forklift and a telescopic handler?
A standard forklift is designed to lift loads vertically in warehouses and indoor spaces, with fixed forks and lifting capacity generally between 1 and 5 tons. A telescopic handler (telehandler) has an extendable boom that allows reaching significant heights and distances, ideal for construction sites where materials need to be placed at height or at a distance. It combines the functions of a forklift and a crane.
How do I choose between a diesel, propane, or electric forklift?
Diesel is suitable for intensive outdoor applications with long working hours and heavy loads. Propane offers a good compromise for indoor and outdoor use with fewer emissions than diesel. Electric is ideal for indoor use (warehouses, factories) as it produces no emissions, is silent, and offers low operating costs, but requires charging infrastructure and is better suited for regular shifts.
What lifting capacity should I choose for my forklift?
Capacity depends on the maximum weight of loads to be handled, including pallets and packaging. Also consider the load's center of gravity: a load with a distant center of gravity reduces effective capacity. For most warehouse applications, a 2.5 to 3.5-ton forklift is sufficient. Heavy industrial applications require capacities of 5 tons or more. Always add a 20 percent safety margin.
What is the difference between a scissor lift and an articulated boom lift?
A scissor lift moves vertically and is suitable for work requiring a stable platform at height on flat ground (ceiling maintenance, electrical installation). An articulated boom lift has an articulated arm allowing obstacles to be bypassed and difficult-to-reach areas to be accessed, ideal for outdoor work, tree trimming, or building facades. The choice depends on required access and terrain.
What certifications are required to operate lifting equipment in Québec?
Forklift operators must hold a CNESST competency card following recognized training. For aerial lifts, specific training for the equipment type is mandatory according to occupational health and safety regulations. On construction sites, operators must also possess a CCQ competency certificate. Employers are responsible for ensuring their operators are trained and certified.
How often should I have my lifting equipment inspected?
Québec regulations require a daily pre-use inspection by the operator (visual and functional check), a more detailed documented monthly inspection, and a complete annual inspection by a qualified technician. Forklifts and aerial lifts must also undergo regular preventive maintenance according to manufacturer recommendations. An inspection log must be maintained for each piece of equipment.
