What the Training Includes

Our forklift and pallet jack certification program is structured to help you safely operate your equipment. Each session typically lasts around two hours and includes: 

  • Classroom-style presentation using OSHA-aligned PowerPoint materials 
  • Interactive discussion on safety standards and best practices 
  • Written quiz to confirm understanding of core concepts 
  • Hands-on evaluation using your company’s forklift(s) 
  • Driving skills checklist completed by our certified trainer 

We provide training on all makes and sizes of forklifts, including Class 1 through Class 7. If you have a Hyster, Yale, Toyota, Crown, Nissan, or Caterpillar machine in your fleet (or even a lift truck by another brand), we deliver operator training that’s tailored to your equipment. 

Train-the-Trainer Option

Want to handle certifications in-house? We offer a Train-the-Trainer program where our instructor trains two to three of your employees to continue training staff internally. This is a great solution for large or growing teams.

Where We Offer Training

  • Primary Focus: Kansas (Wichita, Topeka, Salina, Garden City) 
  • Also Available: Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas 
  • Nationwide: Available if travel expenses are covered 

All training is done on your site, using your forklifts. Because of this, there is no need to transport employees or rent outside equipment. We work hard to offer you helpful and applicable training at the best price.
