Operator training done at a Leavitt Machinery branch on a telehandler

Our Training Approach and Methodology

At Leavitt Machinery, our goal is to help operations achieve safety excellence in every aspect. That’s why every in-class course we offer is delivered by an experienced trainer with the learner in mind. We seek to give operators the knowledge and experience they need for consistently safe and efficient operation. That’s why our courses combine classroom theory with practical hands-on experience and demonstrations.

Classroom theory is reinforced by written testing and supplemental handouts (if applicable). Key learning objectives and topics are presented to ensure that participants understand safe operating procedures and relevant safety standards. This theory and testing give operators the knowledge they need to stay safe on the job.

After the classroom learning and testing has been completed, our instructors move on to practical demonstrations. These demonstrations are carried out with a real forklift, boom lift, or another piece of equipment based on the course. Through this practical component, participants are instructed in the importance of safety inspections and hazard assessment. This practical hands-on learning gives operators the foundational experience they need for consistent safety.
