This is a specialized program designed for warehouse environments, recognizing the critical role of powered industrial trucks, particularly forklifts and straddle stackers. The course sheds light on the seven different classes of forklifts, with a focus on the unique characteristics of Class A forklifts, specifically designed for compact warehouses with narrow aisles. Participants will delve into the operational intricacies of electric motor hand trucks, narrow aisle trucks, and hand rider forklifts, commonly known as “waukee” or straddle stackers.
