Meet your instructor

Experience behind
the instruction.

GT Materials of Denver is led by Geoffrey Thompson, a U.S. Army veteran, former Humvee mechanic and forklift training business owner with experience providing on-site instruction across multiple states.

Now bringing GT Materials to Denver, Geoffrey’s focus is direct: practical instruction, individual attention and equipment-specific training that makes sense on the warehouse floor.

Built around the people, equipment and conditions at your site.
Before you book
What do we need to provide?

Access to the equipment being covered, a suitable instruction space, a safe practical training area and time for each operator’s evaluation. We’ll confirm the details together.

How long does training take?

Timing depends on operator experience, group size, equipment types and workplace conditions. Your quote will include a schedule matched to the scope.

Do you offer individual or company pricing?

Training is quoted around your company’s needs. Share the number of operators, truck types and location for a tailored proposal.

How does this relate to OSHA requirements?

OSHA’s powered industrial truck standard calls for formal instruction, practical training and workplace evaluation. Operator performance must be evaluated at least every three years; refresher training is required when specified conditions arise. The employer remains responsible for ensuring competence and certifying the required records.

Read 29 CFR 1910.178(l) ↗
