INFORMATION ON FORKLIFTS

Whether you have never driven a fork lift or have decades of experience operating one, there’s always something new to learn whether improving your experience or qualifying as an instructor.
Fork lift trucks have always been our speciality and we provide training on them for everyone from novice operators to highly experienced instructors through a range of accredited courses. The following pages provide a range of information on fork lifts ideal for new operators to gain a general overview or for those re-training to update themselves on the more recent developments, equipment and opinions.

Types of fork lift trucks

Fork lift trucks come in a wide range of configurations, each adapted to specific industries or uses, and whilst the basics stay much the same from type to type especially amongst standard counterbalanced lift trucks, it can be useful to understand some of the differences in design and application.

Associations, standards and training

There are a wide range of organisations acting as trade associations, safety legislators and training accreditors, all working towards improving standards and safety in all aspects of fork lift operation and usage; this page runs through a few of those organisations and the roles they play.
