Powered industrial trucks like forklifts, motorized pallet jacks, tuggers, tow motors and other powered equipment are used every day to lift and move equipment or materials. Because of the high risk of injury and even death while operating a powered industrial truck, some use and training recommendations have been developed to improve safety. Employers may assign this course after incidents or to help with ongoing refresher needs. Ideal learners are those who operate powered industrial trucks and their supervisors.
