Every driver of a Low Industrial Lift Truck will be tested in how to safely and efficiently use their equipment. Whenever possible, this will be done during production hours.(This will allow for an evaluation under the conditions drivers will be required to operate the machinery in). Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be “Certified” as a Low Industrial Pallet Truck Driver.
