Forklift Training
Meet OSHA Forklift Training Requirements.
Even the most experienced forklift operator can benefit from ongoing training. Our Forklift Qualification Training course will help you meet OSHA requirements and keep your forklift operators at the top of their game. Topics include:

- Understanding and avoiding the six most common hazards
- Difference between inspections: visual and functional

We know, nobody likes sitting through lengthy training classes. But at Crane U, we do our best to make it interesting, engaging, and, most of all, practically relevant.

WE BET YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS
Does OSHA require forklift operators to be certified?
No. OSHA requires employees who use forklifts to be trained and qualified to use the equipment and has a detailed list of what that training should include. Our Forklift training course will provide the training you need to safely use the equipment, and also prepare you for qualification testing at the end of our course. Upon successful completion, we issue a wallet card that is valid for two years.
Where does the training take place?
We can train at your worksite, or at one of our locations throughout the U.S. To make it even easier, some of the training can be done online, too.
Do you offer a Train the Trainer option for forklift training as well?
Yes, we do. We can train one of your regular employees so they can provide forklift training — with our support — to other employees in the future.
