A powered industrial truck (PIT) is an industrial vehicle that pushes, pulls, stacks or tiers loads. PITs include fork trucks, tractors, platform lift trucks, motorized hand trucks, and other specialized industrial trucks powered by electric motors or internal combustion engines. This program does not apply to compressed air or non-flammable compressed gas-operated industrial trucks, farm vehicles, or vehicles intended for earth moving or over-the-road hauling. All employees affected by this program are required to take classroom training, hands on training followed by a practice period with a licensed PIT operator present at all times, and pass a driving test before a license is issued and the operator can drive independently.
