About this course
Our Forklift Maintenance Training Online delivers the foundational knowledge needed to perform effective preventive maintenance, reduce costly equipment failures, and ensure full compliance with workplace safety standards. Ideal for operators, technicians, and safety managers, this forklift safety maintenance course covers the essential procedures to keep your forklift fleet running at peak performance.
What You Will Learn:
- Forklift Preventive Maintenance Best Practices
- Identifying & Controlling Forklift Safety Hazards
- Pre-Use and Routine Inspection Procedures
- Extending Forklift Lifespan & Reducing Repair Costs
Forklift Maintenance Training is designed for the people who keep lift trucks running safely: operators responsible for the daily pre-use inspection, and maintenance personnel responsible for scheduled service. It applies to counter-balance trucks across propane, diesel, and electric power, in warehouses, yards, and manufacturing plants.
The program walks through what to check and why, from the mast, lift chains, forks, and hydraulics to brakes, steering, tyres, warning devices, and the data plate. It explains how to build and follow a preventive maintenance schedule, how to safely isolate a truck with lockout/tagout before working on it, and how to handle the fuel-specific risks of LPG cylinders and battery charging.
Strong maintenance is also a compliance issue. CSA B335 and provincial OHS legislation expect lift trucks to be inspected and maintained, with records to prove it. This course shows your team how to document every check so the program holds up when a regulator, insurer, or client comes asking.

Why choose us
A forklift that fails mid-shift is not just a repair bill, it is a stalled line, a missed truck, and a safety hazard. This course was built to help Canadian operations catch problems during a two-minute inspection instead of a two-day breakdown.
The procedures are practical and shop-tested, mapped to CSA B335 and OHS recordkeeping expectations, so your maintenance program is both effective on the floor and defensible on paper.
Student reviews
Downtime dropped on our floor
We rolled the daily checklist out to all our operators in our Winnipeg plant and started catching hydraulic seeps and chain wear early. Way fewer surprise breakdowns this quarter.

Solid for our techs
Good structure on preventive maintenance and lockout. We still lean on the OEM manual for specs, but as a training baseline for new shop staff it does the job well.

Made our audit easy
The recordkeeping part was the win for me. When our client asked for maintenance documentation, we had clean logs and certificates ready to hand over.
