Choosing a course

Forklift or telehandler - which course covers your machine?

The machine decides the course. A sit-down counterbalanced forklift, a variable-reach telehandler and a pallet jack are three different tickets, and buying the wrong one means doing it twice. One thing is true of all of them: the online course is the knowledge half, and a practical evaluation on the actual machine still has to happen afterwards.

How this is ordered. By what On-Track customers actually bought over the last twelve months, not by our opinion of them. The first one listed is the one most people take.

What actually separates them

  • Counterbalanced or sit-down forklift: take a forklift course.
  • Variable-reach or rough-terrain telehandler: take a telehandler course.
  • Prices run $49.99 to $99.99 and certificates are typically 36 months.
  • None of these replace the hands-on evaluation your employer has to record.

Still not sure which one?

Call 1-800-440-6650. We audit these programmes for a living, so we would rather spend five minutes telling you which course your certifying partner or your client actually wants than sell you the wrong one.

Training more than one person?

A corporate account is free, takes 20 percent off for the first three months, and keeps every certificate and expiry date in one place. Buying Telehandler Certification seats one at a time costs more and tracks nothing.
