Class II
Electric motor narrow-aisle truck
29 CFR 1910.178
Reach trucks, order pickers, turret trucks, and side-loaders all fall under Class II.
Why stand-up training is different
Stand-up reach trucks travel forks-trailing, steer from the rear, and operate at heights that introduce fall hazards on order pickers. Our course covers sideways operating posture, foot-pedal deadman controls, fall protection on order pickers (29 CFR 1910.67 and 1910.178), and narrow-aisle pedestrian management.
- Forks-trailing travel and reduced visibility
- Rear-wheel steering response

Register on our site, pay $55 (employer team seats are $45 each from 2 seats and lower on volume), start self-paced training anytime, complete formal instruction, and pass the final exam. You'll receive a temporary digital certificate the same day and a hard-copy wallet card by mail (we typically mail it the next business day; delivery is handled by the carrier).

Three years from the date of evaluation, per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(4)(iii). You must also be re-evaluated (refresher training) sooner if you are involved in an accident or near-miss, are observed operating unsafely, are assigned a new type of truck, or your workplace conditions change in a way that affects safe operation.
Yes. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(3)(ii) requires a practical evaluation conducted on the actual equipment in the operator's workplace. No online course, including ours, can replace this employer-conducted evaluation. We provide the evaluation form, instructions, and documentation your supervisor needs to complete it.
Yes, for the formal instruction portion. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(2)(ii) explicitly allows formal instruction (lecture, discussion, interactive computer learning, video, written material) to be delivered online. However, OSHA also requires practical training on the actual equipment in the actual workplace plus an operator evaluation conducted by a qualified person, this on-site portion is the employer's responsibility. We provide a complete evaluation form for your supervisor.
