For those looking to start a career as a forklift operator, Canadian Forklift Training offers an entry-level course that blends in-class theory with video presentations and hands-on training in a warehouse using a real forklift.
Fundamentals of powered lift trucks: components, factors affecting stability, load centers, rules, and regulations
Includes circle checks, startup/shutdown, moving on level ground, parking, and safe operation around others
Covers selecting loads, picking up and placing them, ensuring stability and integrity, and loading or unloading trailers safely
Focuses on essential operational maintenance, including proper refueling procedures and safe battery recharging to ensure reliable forklift performance.

We keep the class sizes small so that every trainee gets full opportunity to learn. We give individual attention during the class and offer sit-down counterbalance to operate under supervision. It is mandatory to complete the theory course before joining practical training.
