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.
