Forklift & Warehouse Logistics
Lift smart. Stack smarter.
Tuition: $3,700 or 24 easy payments of $183.
An OSHA-adjacent forklift operator program covering class II and class III lift trucks, pallet handling, and racking operations. Whiskerworks operates a single forklift in the alley behind Suite 208; you will train on it.
Graduates are qualified for warehouse, distribution, and last-mile-fulfillment positions. The forklift sometimes starts.
What You'll Learn
- ›Operate a class II lift truck safely, most of the time
- ›Execute a four-point pallet lift without dropping the pallet more than once
- ›Back up while emitting the appropriate 'beep beep beep' sound
- ›Interpret warehouse floor paint (yellow = where you are; red = where you are not)
- ›Fuel the truck (gas, electric, or propane — three flavors)
- ›Never lift a cat. Never.
Program Syllabus
Mast, forks, tires, fluid levels, and the thing that clicks.
Center of gravity. Very relevant when you do not have one.
Stacking, unstacking, and the fine line between.
There are humans. They should not be under the forks.
Tipping, stalling, and the 'what was that noise.'
Written + practical. The practical is harder.
