Yes, you do. Some employers offer on the job training in proper use of the pallet jack, while others want you to have this certification prior to being hired. There are classes available.

How to Learn to Drive Pallet Jacks?

Pallet jacks are small tractors that pick up pallets and move them from one place to another in a warehouse or on a loading dock. They are relatively simple to drive if you have ever driven a car or a truck. The most complex part of operating a pallet jack is understanding how to use the lifter on the front of the jack. Age Requirements There are no legal age requirements to operate a pallet jack. Most companies have internal policies regarding operator age, however. In general, companies prefer that pallet jack operators be at least 16 years old. Some companies require an operator to be 18 years old because of insurance reasons. Pallet jacks are an important part of transporting merchandise. If the operator is clumsy or careless, the company could lose hundreds of dollars through damaged merchandise. Because so much money is at stake, many companies prefer that pallet jack operators be a little older. Official Training Each company that uses pallet jacks will have its own form of training for pallet jack operators. Some companies will let you learn on the job by working beside an experienced pallet jack operator until you understand how it’s done. Other companies will give you hands-on training opportunities before you begin to work with real merchandise. If the warehouse or loading dock is particularly difficult to navigate, you may be taught to drive the pallet jack in a more open area before you drive it in close quarters around the people and merchandise in the warehouse. Driving Experience Helps Another reason companies like to train pallet jack operators who are older is because most of the older employees will have experience driving a car or truck. There are some differences between driving a car and driving a pallet jack, but it is much easier to learn a pallet jack when you already understand how to drive a car. The basic operations of the pallet jack are exactly like driving a car. You will need to add to your existing knowledge a new understanding of the specific mechanism that the pallet jack is meant to use when transporting merchandise from one place to another.
