Questions

Anything else, just call us on 0151 558 1470.

Is a conversion course enough?

For experienced counterbalance or reach truck operators, often yes. Articulated trucks handle differently, so we assess current skill before deciding the length.

Do you train on rider and pedestrian versions?

Yes — both are covered by AITT accreditation, and training is matched to the machine you actually run.

Can you train at night?

Yes. Many warehouses prefer training on a quieter shift, and we work around your operation.
