Why Site Specific Training?
Generic training centers can't replicate your specific yard, your unique obstacles, or your exact machinery. At Summit, we believe the best training happens where the work actually gets done.

The Face Behind Summit
With decades of experience in material handling and industrial safety, Kirk founded Summit Access & Forklift Training with a single mission: to move beyond "tick-box" compliance.
As a veteran of the industry, Kirk has seen firsthand how generic training often fails to prepare operators for the nuances of their specific roles. He built this company to bring a personal, disciplined, and highly practical approach to every site we visit.
"Our goal isn't just to hand out certificates; it's to ensure every operator goes home safe because they truly understand the machine they're commanding."
