Become a Telehandler Lift Truck Trainer!

Learn how to train your workers to safely operate a Telehandler.

When you become the trainer, you can train staff whenever needed. If your organization would like to save money by handling Telehandler training internally, invest in training for one qualified operator who can then train your entire staff! Organizations that train a high volume of workers, experience high turnover, or want to increase internal expertise will benefit from having a certified trainer in-house.

Course Summary

Telehandlers are a Class VII (7) Rough Terrain Forklift, typically used in construction-type environments. Competent instruction is a key component to achieving the safe operation of this device.

Our course will teach experienced operators the exact methods to train workers on how to safely operate a Telehandler Lift Truck. Participants will learn to recognize hazards associated with the equipment and the environment in which it is operated, as well as safe operating principles pertaining to the safe operation of the equipment.
