Forklift Training

LIFT Training, a division of Liftow Limited, is reinventing the forklift training industry. By making it more accountable, accessible, effective and efficient. By refusing to compromise on quality for the sake of convenience. And by introducing a consistent standard of excellence that guarantees all operators receive the training they need to ensure a safe workplace.

We understand how important it is to do this job right. Anything less could risk the health and safety of operators and employees all over Canada and the world.

That’s why we don’t take shortcuts and we don’t cut corners. If it takes longer or requires more effort to do the right thing, then that’s what we do. We climb the walls others go around.

It takes a lot of work, unrelenting passion and bull-headed determination to change an industry. We have that. That’s why we are the knowledge leaders, technological pioneers, and recognized authorities throughout the business. And that’s why we are, and will remain, so many miles ahead of everyone in the business.
