Our Most Popular Courses
Counterbalance Training
The counterbalance forklift is what most people think of when talking about forklift trucks. They are by far the most common fork truck in use in the world today. Their versatility means they are useful both inside and outside.
Telehandler Forklift Courses
No building site or farm is complete without a rough terrain, telescopic forklift truck. Their large tyres and high ground clearance mean there aren't many locations they can't work in. Some come equipped with legs for increased stability.
Reach Truck Training Courses
The reach fork truck is a common sight in most warehouses. They have great manoeuvrability and the ability to reach into warehouse racking. Usually chosen when height, rather than weight is the main purpose of use.
Get The Correct Training, Every Time
As an employer, you are required to by law to ensure the correct training of your employees. We will advise you after careful discussion what level of training is needed. The courses we offer range from ½ day to 5 days in length. The shortest are safety refreshers where a relevant, in date (under 5 years), accredited certificate is already held. Next up is experienced operator training where candidates have relevant experience but, have not received any kind of approved training and do not hold a certificate. Lastly, we have novice training, this is for operators who have little or no experience.
The objective with all of our forklift courses is to equip students with the confidence, knowledge and skills to safely and efficiently operate a lift truck in the workplace.
The lift truck courses we offer range from powered pallet trucks through reach trucks and counterbalance forklifts to the largest VNA's. If there is a course that you require that we cannot supply we’ll undoubtedly be able to put you in contact with somebody that can.
We'll Work With You
Companies tell us that they held off from booking forklift training for fear of disruption. So, we offer flexible start times for those that don't work the usual 9-5. In addition, we can shuffle our lessons and breaks to keep any disruption to a minimum - give us a try!
