360training has acquired ForkliftTraining.com for an undisclosed amount. The deal brings the forklift operator training provider under the umbrella of the Austin-based online training company, which offers compliance and certification courses across industries including real estate, health and safety, and food and beverage.
ForkliftTraining.com provides employers with a blended training model that combines standardized online instruction with site-specific practical evaluation. Its platform supports multi-location programs, internal train-the-the-trainer models, and LMS or SCORM-based course licensing, along with multilingual training options and centralized record-keeping. The company’s systems are designed to help organizations maintain compliance with OSHA, ANSI, and CSA requirements while scaling from small teams to enterprise-level operations, including staffing agencies placing operators across multiple client sites.
For 360training, the acquisition expands its catalog into the industrial safety segment, a natural extension of its existing occupational health and safety offerings. ForkliftTraining.com’s focus on internal training programs and audit-ready documentation aligns with 360training’s broader mission of delivering regulatory compliance training through digital platforms. The target company’s emphasis on consistency across distributed workforces is expected to complement 360training’s existing infrastructure for course delivery and learner management.
The transaction also gives 360training access to a customer base that includes employers who prefer to manage operator training internally rather than rely on third-party classroom sessions. ForkliftTraining.com’s train-the-trainer and evaluator programs, which allow organizations to certify their own staff, could be integrated into 360training’s existing course library, potentially broadening its appeal to corporate clients with complex compliance needs.
Post-acquisition, ForkliftTraining.com is expected to continue operating as a distinct offering within 360training’s portfolio, with its tools for centralized records and multilingual support remaining available to existing and new customers. The combined entity will likely focus on deepening its reach among employers in logistics, manufacturing, and staffing sectors, where forklift certification is a recurring requirement.
