Forklift Training Classes

Due to Covid Our Classes Have Been Cancelled at This Time


To ward off potential accidents and risk of deaths in the work environment, OSHA mandates that each operator be trained and certified on each forklift that they will be using. The trainers at Southwest Materials Handling Company are here to assist you in assuring that each of the operators working with forklifts in your business are all trained for the safety of not only the operator of the equipment but for other employees, as well.
