Planning

We work with local dealers who provide us with 5,000 pound, propane-powered forklifts for our events. Other Forklift Rodeos use other types of Powered Industrial Trucks.

Course Designs

Scoring

Note that the judges� criteria include both driving skill and observance of safety rules. For example:

Skills:
�Enters square to load�
�Minimal inching�

Safety:
�Checks behind before backing�
�Lowers forks to safe traveling height�

Experience has shown that promoting safe driving must be built into the course and judging criteria or it won�t happen!
