Counterbalanced Forklift Classes

With thousands of forklift-related incidents every year, proper forklift safety training is crucial for every operation. That’s why Leavitt Machinery offers an extensive selection of forklift classes for all types of counterbalanced lift trucks. Whether you’re working in construction, forestry, warehousing, or intermodal applications, we can help. Our lift truck classes are designed to give operators the tools they need to stay safe and productive. These forklift classes consist of classroom learning, written testing, and practical hands-on experience. The classroom content is delivered through multimedia presentations and interactive discussions. It is then reinforced through workbooks, handouts, and practical assessment.

Our lift truck classes adhere to all current ANSI and CSA standards. This ensures that operators are instructed in the best safety practices, reducing the risk of incidents. Contact our training experts today or browse our course calendar to enroll in one of our forklift classes.
