Forklifts are one of the most commonly used equipment types. This means that forklift accidents are also more common! That’s why forklift certification is a prerequisite in Canada. In order to operate a forklift, you need to be certified.

They are versatile machines that can be used for a number of applications. Industries such as forestry, warehousing, and construction all have specific jobs that require the use of a forklift.

Due to their versatility, to operate a forklift efficiently and safely, you need to understand everything about it. At Advantage Learning Solutions, we offer forklift training that covers all industry requirements.

In-class instruction is delivered with the help of multimedia presentations and includes group discussion. To pass the course, participants must successfully complete the examination. Testing is completed in two parts: a written component and hands-on practical demonstration.

Regardless of the industry you work in, we can provide you with the perfect onsite group forklift training solutions or single-participant forklift licensing courses.

How do you choose the right forklift training course?
The two main kinds of forklifts are counterbalanced (or sit-down) forklifts and narrow-aisle forklifts. There are many similarities between these two types of forklifts, but the main differences are their load capacities and application areas.

A sit-down forklift is able to lift heavier loads and has a cab for the operator to sit while operating the equipment. In comparison, a narrow-aisle forklift is primarily used in warehouse settings and other confined spaces. In this version, like its name suggests, the driver stands while operating.

Counterbalanced forklifts are a class 1, 4 or 5 while narrow-aisle forklifts are a class 2.
