Complete this training in only one day and be prepared to secure employment in this high-demand field.
Operating a forklift may look like fun, but a forklift is an important, powerful piece of heavy equipment that requires operators who possess safety awareness, some technical and math abilities, and reliability. Forklift operators move materials over short distances at warehouses, storage yards, factories, and construction sites. Some move materials on and off of trucks, trains, and ships. Operators need to be familiar with the equipment they are using as they are responsible for the safe movement of their cargo.
