What You Can Expect from Best Line Training
Core Training Categories
OSHA Equipment Training
Mobile Elevating Work Platform
A MEWP is a piece of equipment used to safely lift workers to elevated work areas. It includes scissor lifts, boom lifts, and cherry pickers. MEWPs provide a stable platform for performing tasks at height while reducing the risk of falls. Operators must be trained on safe operation, load limits, and proper use of safety harnesses.

Forklift (Class 1-5)
Forklifts are industrial vehicles designed to lift, carry, and transport materials over short distances. Classes 1-5 include electric counterbalance forklifts, internal combustion engine forklifts, and pneumatic tire forklifts. Safe operation includes understanding load capacity, proper stacking techniques, and awareness of pedestrian traffic. Operators must be certified and follow site-specific safety rules.
Telehandler (Class 7)
A telehandler is a versatile lifting machine with a telescopic boom, used for moving heavy loads to high or hard-to-reach places. Class 7 telehandlers are designed for larger lifting capacities and outdoor construction or industrial applications. Safe use requires knowledge of load charts, boom positioning, and terrain stability. Operators should always wear proper protective equipment.
Rotating Telehandler (Class 7)
A rotating telehandler is similar to a standard telehandler but features a 360° rotating cab and boom for increased maneuverability in tight spaces. This allows precise positioning of loads without repositioning the entire machine. Safe operation involves understanding rotation limits, stabilizer deployment, and load balancing. Operators must complete Rotating Telehandler training before operating a standard telehandler.
