Forklift Training

At Lift and Shift, the forklift operator training is designed to support the needs of both novice and experienced forklift drivers. The forklift training covers practical and theoretical sessions that cover all elements of forklift operation, from basic handling to advanced operations. Participants in the forklift training gain knowledge about different types of forklifts, including counterbalance trucks and reach forklifts, which are important for many workplaces.

The programme also emphasises safe working practices, ensuring that all trainees know how to work within their workplace securely. The forklift training is more than just about driving the forklift but also about caring for it. Participants learn routine inspections and fault-finding methods to keep their machines running smoothly, which is a essential part of the forklift training.

These first aid courses prepare employees to manage a variety of incidents, from small injuries to severe situations. Participants learn life-saving techniques, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation and how to use an defibrillator. The skills gained in these courses enhance the safety readiness of all staff, complementing the Forklift Training in Accrington.
