SUMMARY   Powered Industrial Truck (forklift) training is very important to operators,  contractors and companies. OSHA requires training and certification of any individual operating a forklift. Many times this training is hard to find or conflicts with production schedules, as well as being quite expensive. Operator training is valid for 3 years and then OSHA requires operator re-training, resulting in more expense.
