Telehandler and Forklift Safety Training Course

This training course is designed for Skid Steer(Bobcats)/Telehandlers/Variable Reach Forklifts. This is a two day course, and is ideal for workers in industrial construction, residential construction, as well as oil and gas workers who use these machines.

The two day course is much more in depth than many other 8hr Variable Reach Telehandler Training courses, and is designed to create competent workers.

Why is this course important?

Telehandlers / Skid Steers / Forklifts, are commonplace on many construction sites, however untrained workers are at risk when they operate the lifts.

It is easy to operate the lift outside of its parameters. This can lead to a dangerous situation where the lift can tip, or drops its load. Injury, death and property damage are all potentials.
