Training & Certification Programs

The key to a safe work environment is to promote safe work habits and provide appropriate training for everyone. Over the years, Eastern Lift Truck Co. has developed its own culture of safety into one of the most comprehensive OSHA-compliant forklift training and certification programs in the United States.

Our trainers have a passion to teach and average 25 years of industry experience. On any given day, you will find us at customer locations, leading material handling training sessions throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. This includes Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C., West Virginia and beyond. Please contact us for more information or to schedule a class at your facility. You may also arrange to send a group of your employees to a training session at one our locations.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the worldwide health crisis, we regret to announce that all “in-house” training sessions previously scheduled to be held at Eastern Lift Truck Co. (ELTC) locations, are cancelled through the end of 2020. However, ELTC trainers continue to travel to our customers’ locations, as requested and approved, to perform “on-site” training sessions, while adhering to proper CDC health guidance.

Individuals interested in our popular “in-house” training classes at ELTC, are asked to return to this page on a regular basis. We will post an announcement when training sessions at our various branches resume. Please stay safe and healthy.

Let Us Help You Find What You Need

  • Forklift Operator Training

    Making sure your forklift operators are familiar with the proper operation of your industrial equipment is the best way to improve employee safety and prevent damage to your facility. We offer OSHA-compliant in-house operator training for all classes of forklifts, rough terrain equipment (straight-mast and telescopic handlers), mobile elevating work platforms (scissors, booms, and man-lifts), as well as earthmoving and mining equipment (skid-steers, backhoes) at the following facilities: Allentown, Warminster, and York PA; Maple Shade, NJ and Baltimore, MD. We will also travel to your location for training along the East Coast.

  • Train the Trainer

    Our “Train the Trainer” course is intended for anyone who is responsible for training powered industrial lift operators. The course explains how to design a lift truck training program and how to present this program to your forklift drivers in a positive manner. We include all classroom materials, handouts and a sample post-test for Basic Operator Training.

  • Technical Training

    This course is designed to introduce service employees, maintenance personnel or forklift technicians with fewer than two years of formal experience to the basic skills and requirements needed to safely service powered industrial lift trucks. We strongly recommend this course for anyone who has little or no background in forklift service work. It also serves as an excellent refresher program for even seasoned technicians.
