Course Details

Reach fork lift trucks are one of the most widely used and are a key part of the process in warehousing, distribution and lots of other business operations. The ability to steer 90 degrees and turn in tight spaces means that reach forklifts can be used in smaller warehouses or where racking is closer together.

Operators should be trained to an essential level of skill to work with Reach Trucks trucks safely, efficiently and with competence. By the end of the course the operator should state the reasons for operators training, and pass a basic operatives skills test as set out in the HSE publication Rider-Operated Lift Trucks, Approved Code of Practice, (L117)

Maximum of 3 Delegates per course.

Compliance

It’s critical for every business to Keep it Legal! Our experience and knowledge of the industry, combined with our expert training provision, can ensure that you remain compliant with your training and operational responsibilities. For example, if your forklift operator’s certificates are out of date, you could be issued with a fine for non-compliance – recently issued fines are in excess of half a million pounds.

Candidates will undertake a multiple-choice test to assess their job-related safety knowledge at the beginning of the course and a practical test following the training. A certificate relevant to the level of training undertaken will be awarded on successful completion. As an accredited trainer, we offer two levels of certification for your staff:
