Powered Industrial Trucks for Drivers
Operator-level basics for powered industrial trucks: how a PIT handles differently from a car, how counterweight and center of gravity keep a loaded truck stable, daily shift inspections, carrying loads on ramps, and what to do if the truck starts to tip. The course states plainly that it does not certify you to operate a PIT, and directs you to your supervisor to find out what certification requires.
Part of the compliance library: free for every employee at any company size.
