Reach Forklift Training

Reach forklifts are designed to access loads which are stacked at varying heights on tall shelving units. Usually, these forklifts are operated in warehouses with narrow pathways; they are highly manoeuvrable machines, which is why specific training is essential if you want to drive one safely.

Why choose us for reach forklift training?

Through our dedicated sister company, East Midlands Driver Training, we provide reach forklift training courses that will help your workers to familiarise themselves with the popular reach forklift truck. Beginning with an introduction to, and overview, of the machine, the course will cover every aspect of this specialist equipment, from the safe operation, loading and unloading to controls, maintenance and more. By the end of the course, you will have a thorough understanding of the reach forklift and will have the knowledge to operate it safely in tight internal spaces.

All of our instructors are AITT accredited, providing extensive training that draws on many years of experience.

With reach forklift driver training available across the East Midlands — including Nottingham, Derby, Loughborough and Leicester — East Midlands Driver Training can come to your site to train your drivers in accordance with health and safety regulations.
