Forklift Training in Calgary & Edmonton

Forklifts are powerful machines that are used for heavy-duty jobs. Whether used in a warehouse, on a construction site, or at a recycling centre this equipment is very useful but can also be very dangerous when used improperly.

 

Since OHS regulations require that operators be certified, as an employer or supervisor you will be glad that your operators received the necessary training and certification from Liftruck Training Institute of Canada Inc. Knowledge and skills are an absolute necessity, but if an operator is not safety conscious they can still be a significant hazard. Our courses concentrate as much on safety as they do on knowledge and skill.

 

About Our Forklift Training Program

Liftruck Training Institute of Canada Inc. offers six-hour to eight-hour forklift training courses and four-hour to six-hour forklift recertification courses in Edmonton, Calgary, and surrounding areas. Each participant will receive an operator safety manual. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be issued an operator's wallet card. Wall certificates will be issued upon request.

 

During our theory session, you can expect the itinerary to include introductions and an overview of topics like:

• Safety in the workplace
• Regulations, standards, and policies
• Forklift and worksite hazards
• Pre-operational and visual checks
• Forklift and load stability
• Working safely with propane, gas, diesel, or batteries
• Safe operating procedures and techniques
• Load handling

At the conclusion of the theory session, you will take the written certificate examination. For the practical session, the instructor will take everyone through a pre-use inspection and a review of the controls, and then they will be required to perform and be evaluated on routine tasks on the forklift.

 

If you are interested, we also offer a course on Power Pallet Jack that takes between three and four hours. You can even combine the two courses to get it all done in one day.

 

Due to the unique characteristics of Telehandler Forklifts and Truck Mounted Forklifts, they are each offered as separate classes from other forklift equipment.
