Fork Lift Training

Students in our forklift training will gain value. New operators will get enough practice time to develop safe operation skills, and experienced operators will refresh their safety knowledge as well as un-learn some potentially unsafe operation habits.

This training is delivered in accordance with CSA B335 Safety Standard for Lift Trucks.

The course is interactive, and as applicable to the work environment as possible. If the client has their own machines, we will train with those machines. Otherwise, we’ll run the training at a local Cooper Rentals location and use their machine.
