Busted! Don’t Believe These Forklift Training Myths!

UFT Ultimate Forklift Training Center • 10 July 2023

In the pulsing heart of the industry, forklifts are the titans that keep our world in motion. They’re the unsung heroes of warehouses, the linchpins of construction sites, and the stalwarts of supply chains. Yet, the true power doesn’t lie in these steel behemoths themselves but in the skilled operators who deftly maneuver them. However, when it comes to forklift training, a fog of myths and misunderstandings often shrouds the truth, leading to dangerous misconceptions, inefficiencies, and an increased risk of accidents.


In this blog, The UFT Ultimate Forklift Training Center is about to clear the air. Prepare for a myth-busting rollercoaster that will not only debunk the widespread fallacies but also illuminate the path to forklift mastery. It’s time to dismantle these myths, one by one, and elevate your understanding of forklift operation to new heights. Let’s get started!

Myth 1: All Training Centers Are the Same

This myth couldn’t be further from the truth. Before committing time and money to a training center, you should ask a lot of questions to ensure that the center is reputable, experienced, and capable of meeting your training needs. Unfortunately, there are many “not so good” trainers out there who are only interested in taking your money.


At UFT Ultimate Forklift Training Center, we pride ourselves on being a recognized forklift training provider that has been serving the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding areas for years. We have a team of experienced trainers who are committed to ensuring that our trainees receive quality training that meets industry standards.

Myth 2: If I Have a Forklift Operator “Certificate,” Any Company Will Hire and Train Me

This is not true. Employers want to ensure that trained and competent operators operate their expensive machinery. Therefore, most companies will test you on the machine to ensure that you know what you are doing, regardless of whether you have a forklift operator certificate or not. It is essential to receive proper forklift training to increase your chances of employment. At UFT Ultimate Forklift Training Center, we offer comprehensive forklift training programs that cover both theory and practical training to help you become a competent and skilled operator.

Myth 3: New Operators Can Easily Get a Job if They Have a Forklift Certificate

This is not true. New operators must prove themselves first before they can be put on a machine. At UFT Ultimate Forklift Training Center, we understand the challenges that new operators face when entering the job market. We provide our trainees with strategies to assist them in getting a job, such as providing job placement assistance and interview preparation.
