Who Needs Forklift Certification?
OSHA requires that all forklift operators be trained and evaluated before operating powered industrial trucks. This includes:
- New hires and seasonal employees
- Workers switching forklift types (e.g., from sit-down to stand-up)
- Operators whose previous certification expired (3-year renewal)
- Anyone involved in loading/unloading forklifts or materials
Need help determining which forklift types your team must train on? We’ll assess your fleet and create a custom certification plan.
Forklift Types We Train On
We offer training on a variety of forklift models and warehouse equipment, including:
- LP & diesel forklifts (sit-down, counterbalance)
- Electric forklifts (3-wheel, stand-up, reach)
- Narrow aisle forklifts and order pickers
- Powered pallet jacks
- Clamp trucks and container handlers (upon request)
