  • So a standard cable needs to be chipped to show its rating to the device, its not that the device can pull what it wants or can get, but the cable itself tells it what it can supply. Extension cables can’t do that, because it doesn’t know what it’s plugged into, and that would be if they even bothered to put a chip in. They instead piggy back off the chip for the main cable. The problem comes when you you have a 240 watt cable hooked up to a cheap 120 watt cable, with the device being told it can push 240, and starts to super heat the extension cable







  • Before they pulled up the ladder. There is NOTHING more frustrating than looking up a problem, getting the exact question you are looking for, only for the answers to say the question is locked and given a link to another malformed question which tell you to rtfm, and that this is no longer supported., try to do something else with a completely different software in a completely different way. All in an attempt to keep the question pool pure. I do not mourn SO.



  • For a new certification it looks like the online portion is $50-75 and the practical test is $150-200 so like $300 or so for the certification. It’s an investment, but qualified fork lift operators usually have better work conditions, better job prospects, better retention, and better pay than unqualified laborers. But that benefit comes with the responsibility of the equipments proper use, you can kill someone otherwise.


  • So if i remember my time at wal mart. They will in house certify you, which means you are not certified. They just kinda look the other way and claim there was an immediate need, then go back to justifying the immediate need.

    So in order to be certified i think you need to take OSHA classes and be evaluated by a trainer to include classes and a practical.

    I would either not mention it without getting the cert, be broad with description of the equipment, or take the classes.
