Forklifts are the most widely used pieces of equipment for lifting and moving heavy loads. Many industries such as agriculture, warehousing, and construction use one or more types of forklifts for handling heavy materials at the job site. However, operating a forklift requires a lot of skill as it can be dangerous to work with heavy equipment without specialized training, for the operator as well as others around them. For this reason, forklift training is a prerequisite in Canada and the USA in compliance with the guidelines and training standards determined by Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in Canada and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the USA.
Operator training specializes operators to work safely in all kinds of environments whether it is maneuvering a reach truck in tight warehouse aisles or working on a mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) also known as aerial work platforms. The purpose of training is to give the operators the right information and skills needed to work efficiently on different job sites. The MEWP training course is recommended for teaching operators to work responsibly at heights as these work platforms extend several feet in the air. Training is mandatory for anyone working with elevated work platform equipment such as boom lifts, man lifts, and scissor lifts. We also offer boom lift training and scissor lift training.
Overhead crane systems are utilized in a variety of applications and environments to transport heavy materials. Though highly useful, they also pose a number of risks and hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Leavitt Training
Do I need a license to operate a forklift?
Yes, though regulations may differ between different states and provinces.
How often should an operator inspect their equipment?
To ensure safety, it is recommended that a pre-shift inspection be completed once every day. If the machine is not being used every day, making sure to inspect it at the beginning of it's shift is sufficient.
How can I reduce forklift downtime?
A preventive maintenance programs will help identify problems proactively to ensure the least amount of equipment downtime resulting in higher productivity.
Can you use a gas powered forklift inside?
Propane forklifts can be used in indoor and outdoor applications. Another option for indoor use is electric.
How do I choose a forklift tire?
Choosing the right tires for your forklift is entirely dependent on your specific situation and application. Don’t settle on replacing what you have with the same. If you’re not sure what tires are right for your application, feel free to reach out to our team of experts and we’ll help you find the perfect solution!
How long do forklift tires last?
Depending on the type of tire, quality, application and operation, forklift tires should last between 2,000 to 2,400 hours.
Do electric forklifts cost more than internal combustion engine forklifts?
When you add the acquisition cost and the overall running cost of ICE and electric forklift options and compare them, the numbers speak for themselves. Although a higher initial investment, electric forklifts offer significantly lower maintenance and operating costs.
Indoor, outdoor, or both?
Operating outdoors for extended periods of time will, in most cases, be more comfortable with an enclosed cabin; whereas an open cab will offer better visibility in an indoor facility with a controlled climate. Even with changing emissions standards, most customers prefer to keep diesel forklifts for outdoor use only. Propane is versatile and can be used both indoor and outdoor, however the fuel tanks are smaller requiring more frequent refueling than diesel. Electric options are most commonly used for indoor only applications; however some models are now able to operate both indoor and outdoor and on multiple surfaces.
How do I determine the forklift capacity that I need?
Load dimensions come in all shapes and sizes and in the forklift world, the weight of the object doesn’t always determine what capacity you need in a machine. Length, width, and height will determine the load center of the object which will ultimately affect the capacity of your forklift. Take a measurement of the load you plan to lift and figure out a good approximation of the weight of the object. This information will help your forklift sales representative calculate the right lift capacity required for the job at hand.
How do I know what type of forklift and chassis I require?
From polished concrete floors to mud that will overflow into your boots, the ground equipment works on can vary dramatically and will change the type of forklift and chassis you require. The different classes of forklifts are all suited to different operating conditions, with some classes only suitable for smooth concrete and others which would be overkill in the same application. You might also need the forklift to work on multiple surfaces, which again will narrow your options. This question helps refine your search and eliminate a few classes of forklifts from the mix
What are the benefits of using a yard spotter?
A yard spotter, also known as a terminal tractor, is a specialized type of vehicle used primarily in industrial and logistical settings, such as shipping terminals, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities.
