About Us
Trusted operator training, built by real trainers
Forklift University has trained tens of thousands of operators across the United States in full compliance with OSHA 1910.178 and MEWP standards. Our team blends 20+ years of classroom, on-site, and simulator experience to deliver programs that keep operators safe and organizations audit-ready.
Our mission
OSHA forklift violations remain in the top 10 citations issued every year, and operators are still hurt on the job. We exist to change that — with training that is practical, tested by working trainers, and delivered in the format that fits your workflow.
From single-operator online classes to full facility Train-the-Trainer engagements, every program is built to satisfy the formal-training portion of OSHA 1910.178 and supported by hands-on evaluation guidance for your qualified evaluator.
