Theyre not that hard to operate. Certificates depend on the company youre working for, they usually have their own qualifications. There isn’t a universal “forklift drivers license” afaik.
I worked the counter at an electrical supply house for a while and learned how to use it when I was bored, just take your time and pay attention. Have someone around who’s experienced. It’s not rocket science.
Mine was like: these are the controls. The test was: pick up this pallet, put it on this shipping crate, okay now take it down. CONGRATS YOU’RE CERTIFIED.
The training basically boils down to: “don’t overload the lift, make sure you understand The Triangle, safety checks.”
Then you get a hands-on training sesh with someone whonis certified to do so.
Suuuuuper easy.
Is getting forklift certified really as easy as taking a 1 hour online course? That seems… suspiciously simple.
