As an experienced forklift operator, enhance your skills in just two days.

Overview in brief

• A rough terrain telescopic material handler is, in essence, a more flexible version of the ever-popular fork lift truck.
• Its greater ground clearance means that it can be used on uneven surfaces. It also has upward and forward reach capabilities.
• All these features make it a popular machine in land-based and construction industries.
• But, as with the more humble fork lift, it is a common cause of workplace accidents.
• Our intensive two-day course will help you build upon your experience to become a more confident and safe operator of this versatile machine.

The finer details

• The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has set out a legal minimum standard of basic training for the rough terrain telescopic material handler.
• Our course is designed around the HSE’s approved code of practice.
• You’ll be given a thorough run-down of the machine’s capabilities and all the key health and safety issues.
• And once the theory is done, you’ll be set a variety of practical tests.
• You’ll travel over a number of different terrain types. Lifting, placing and retrieving loads will also be covered in full.

Worth noting:

• Completing this course means you can move on to a recognised qualification – in this case, the Lantra Awards Level 2 Award in Fork Lift Truck (Counter Balance) Operations.
