Forklift Operator Resume — Frequently Asked Questions

Which forklift certifications matter most on a resume?

List the exact truck category you are licensed on (counterbalance, reach, or telehandler) and the awarding body (RTITB, ITSSAR, or NPORS) — mismatched licences cost you the interview.

How do I quantify forklift operator experience?

Give a throughput figure: "Moved an average of 180 pallets per shift across a 3-aisle reach truck warehouse with zero recordable incidents in 2 years."
