Aerial Lift Training

Aerial Lift Certification Training From Lonestar Forklift MEWP, or Mobile Elevated Work Platform, has become the new term for aerial work platforms. This term encompasses both boom lifts and scissor lifts. With Lonestar Forklift’s Blended MEWP Training course you can receive certification to operate both a scissor lift and a boom lift.

You take your safety seriously, and so do we. Therefore, we believe accessing the proper operator safety training should be easy. We have created a scissor lift and boom lift blended training program to help educate you on proper operating procedure. Complete the online theory training from the comfort of your own home at your leisure first, then contact your closest Lonestar Forklift location to book your practical assessment. Upon successful completion of the blended MEWP training course you will receive your OSHA and ANSI certified license to operate the two types of equipment.
