Operator Training
MEWP & Telehandler Operator Training
MEWP and telehandler operators must be trained by a qualified trainer. The training experts at JLG have your back.
JLG offers convenient online boom lift, scissor lift and telehandler training on our state-of-the-art JLG University. We'll also help you get connected with a qualified trainer in our professional JLG Trainer Network to complete the in-person practical training requirements.
What is MEWP Operator Training?
MEWP operator training is an ANSI requirement. If you are going to operate a MEWP, such as a boom lift (you might call this a cherry picker or manlift) or scissor lift, you're required to have MEWP operator training. The same goes for any person operating a telehandler.
During MEWP training, you'll learn:
- What agencies, regulations, and requirements govern MEWP operation
- MEWP manuals, decals, and placards
- Machine components and controls
- Inspection requirements
- Machine safety
- How to properly operate a MEWP
To satisfy the MEWP operator training requirements, you have two options:
- Take online training – but you must finish up with an in-person, qualified trainer
- Take the training in person with a qualified trainer
The JLG Training department can help no matter which route you choose.
