FAQs

What is Sit-Down Forklift Operator Training?

Many times, operators prefer using sit-down forklifts to move and transport heavy equipment. However, driving a sit-down forklift is not the same as driving a car. That’s why OSHA requires you to complete a training course if you are going to use a sit-down forklift at your warehouse or material handling facility.

Our Sit-Down Forklift Operator course teaches you how to safely drive these types of forklifts. Specifically, you’ll learn about the anatomy of a sit-down forklift, as well as best practices for inspecting and maintaining the equipment.

Who Should Take Sit-Down Forklift Operator Safety Training?

While this training was designed for sit-down forklift operators, we also recommended it for anyone who works in the same environment as sit-down forklifts.
