Is different forklift training required for different forklifts?
Training is different for each class of forklift because each forklift class has different characteristics. OSHA requires training for the specific equipment that the operator will be using:
- Class 1, 4, 5 – Sit-down Counterbalance Forklifts ( battery, gas, LP, and diesel powered)
- Class 2 – Stand-up Narrow Isle Forklift
- Class 3 – Electric Pallet Jacks
