COURSE AIM 

Our Fork Lift Training Course is designed to provide learners with an understanding of safe operation and pre-operational checks of counterbalance and reach forklift trucks. We will cover the relevant legislation and dangers associated with work involving the use of these types of trucks.

Our aim is to ensure that all learners leave the course with the necessary skills and knowledge to safely operate forklift trucks.
