Workplace Training

Reach Truck Training

Reach trucks were first introduced to reduce the aisle widths a forklift needed to operate in and therefore bring down the cost of pallets stored within warehouses.

Reach trucks are common in all sectors of industry and variants exist for more specialist applications (4 way steering etc).

Sideloader Forklift Training

The sideloader forklfit truck is the ideal machine for handling long loads particularly when significant travelling distances are involved. Widely used in the timber and steel industries. This type of truck ensures optimum space utilisation and improved load stability when travelling.

Multi-Directional Forklift Training

The multi-directional forklift truck is a “one-stop” solution for applications that require handling of long or palletised loads on smooth or rough terrain. As

this trucks name suggests (multi-directional) it has the capability of travelling forwards, backwards & side to side with its triple rotating wheels. Widely used within the timber and steel industries.

Transportable Forklift Training

Rider transportable forklift trucks are generally mounted on the back of lorries and have become increasingly common for many businesses to support the unloading & loading while delivering or collecting good.

The most common of these types of trucks is the Moffett Mounty but other makes are available within the marketplace.

Powered Pallet Truck

Powered pallet trucks come in a variety of styles and can be pedestrian-operated, rider operated or in some cases both (with a stand on platform).

They can be used for the horizontal transporting of palletised loads, low-level order picking or for the stacking of loads.

Electric Powered Stacker Truck Training

Electric powered stackers allow operators to carry out the same tasks as with standard pedestrian pallet trucks but the added advantage of being able to stack or destack goods at heights.

Stackers are generally smaller & cheaper than conventional reach and counterbalance trucks which gives operators & businesses more flexibility.

Order Picker Forklift Truck

Order picking trucks come in a variety of styles and can be used for stacking loads at low, medium or high levels. Mostly used for picking orders from various heights quite often in narrow aisles. These type’s of forklift truck have both “man up” and “man down” operating positions.

Telescopic / Telehandler Truck Training

Articulated Truck Training

VNA Forlift Training

Very Narrow Aisle trucks are used within warehouses for either loading/offloading loads from racking systems or order picking at medium to high levels.

VNA forklifts are unique as they’re generally only steered by the operators when transferring from on aisle to another and are usually run on either wire or rail guidance systems within an aisle.

Scissor & Boom Lift Training

Scissor & boom lift trucks have become increasingly popular for many businesses across multiple sectors as they offer a flexible safe solution to work at heights that would have been unable to reach safely.

Overhead Crane & Slinging Training

Overhead cranes are used in many different types of industrial applications and, although the principle of operation remains the same (i.e. the load is lifted from directly above), the methods of control do vary.

The main types of overhead controls are;

Pendant Control – the crane is manoeuvred by a pendant control attached to the crane that is held a ground level by the operator.
Remote Control – this is similar to the pendant control system but the remote control is not attached to the crane thus allowing the operator more freedom to work from the optimum location.
Cab Control – the operator is located in a cab that is usually attached to the crane to give them good vision of the operation from above.

Manual Handling Awareness

The risk of injury from a manual handling task will be increased where workers do not have the information or training necessary to enable them to work safely. For example, if they do not know about any unusual characteristics of loads or about the system designed to ensure their safety during manual handling, this may lead to injury.

The course is broken down into 5 stages in theory power point presentation and practical demonstration, followed by an assessment in both theory and practical by each individual.

1. Manual handling risk factors and how injuries can occur
2. How to carry out safe manual handling, including good handling technique
3. Appropriate systems of work for the individual’s task and environment
4. Use of mechanical aids
5. Practical work to allow the trainer to identify and put right anything the trainee is not doing safely.
