NYC LIFT
CERTIFICATION

What equipment can you certify?

We certify operators for boom lifts, scissor lifts, telehandlers, and forklifts. Our expertise covers brands like JLG, Genie, Snorkel, and other minor brands.

What industries require lift certification?

Certification is essential for operators across various industries, including:

• Construction
• Warehousing
• Hotel and event space maintenance
• Movie and theater production

Who needs to be certified?

OSHA mandates that all equipment operators must be certified, regardless of the industry. This applies to federal, state, local, and private employers and employees. Certification ensures compliance, reduces risks, and avoids penalties.

Is the certificate valid for OSHA?

Yes, our certification is fully OSHA compliant and adheres to ANSI standards for aerial lift operations. Training includes both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice, ensuring safety and efficiency.

Why is OSHA compliance important?

Non-compliance can lead to work stoppages, fines, and safety hazards. Reviewing OSHA’s database of fatalities and violation fines demonstrates the importance of proper training.

Can I certify online?

No. Online training is not OSHA compliant because it lacks the hands-on component required by OSHA and ANSI standards. We conduct all training on-site with the actual equipment.

What are the certification requirements?

The requirements are simple:

• Participants must be present.
• The equipment (boom lift, scissor lift, or forklift) must be available at your site.

How do I schedule a class?

To schedule, contact us with your job location and preferred date. Include your company name and the number of participants. Emergency scheduling (less than 24 hours’ notice) is available in some cases.

Do you offer boom lift certification near me?

Do you provide boom lift certification in NYC?

How much does it cost?

How do I pay for the certification?

• Cash or Company Check: Collected at the start of the class.
• Credit Card: Payments must be processed at least one day before the class and are subject to a 3% processing fee.

An invoice with the scheduled date will be sent after booking.

How long does the certification last?

Our certifications are valid for 2 years. Renewal can be scheduled as needed.

Can you certify me before I get my job?

No. OSHA and ANSI standards require hands-on training with the actual equipment at your jobsite. Once certified, you can start operating immediately.

How do I renew my certification?

  The training combines theoretical and practical elements to ensure participants are prepared.

No. We use the equipment available at your site, which is often rented from companies like Sunbelt Rentals or United Rentals.

Do you offer classes for non-construction workers?

Yes, we train workers from various industries, including warehousing, event spaces, and entertainment. Certification is tailored to your work environment and job-specific needs.

What is a boom lift certification?

Boom lift certification ensures that operators are trained and qualified to use aerial lift equipment safely and in compliance with OSHA regulations.

What’s included in the certification?

Participants receive training, hands-on equipment instruction, and a certification card valid for 2 years.

What are the hazards of operating a boom lift without certification?

Operating without certification risks fines, work stoppages, and safety violations, and increases the likelihood of accidents.

Can I be certified on rental equipment?

Yes, we often certify operators using rental equipment from providers like Sunbelt Rentals or United Rentals.

What is the cost of OSHA violations for uncertified operators?

Fines vary but can be significant. OSHA violations for non-compliance can also result in legal repercussions and operational delays.
