Why It Matters

- Disqualified bids on government and private contracts
FAQs
How long is the certification valid?
Three years per OSHA guidelines, or sooner if the operator has an accident or changes equipment types.
Can I take forklift training online?
Yes, but you'll need a certified trainer to conduct the final hands-on evaluation.
Do you offer group discounts?
Yes. We offer reduced rates for teams of 3 or more operators — available nationwide.
Is MEWP training required separately?
Yes — scissor and boom lifts fall under ANSI A92.24 and are not covered by forklift certification alone.
