What Lift Truck do we train on?
We train Lift Truck Instructors at our training centre in Forfar on a Counterbalance Truck. We will need to see your own operator certificate, which has to have been issued to you within the last 12 months, before we can book you onto an Instructor course. If you have not completed your operator training in the last 12 months we can arrange for this to be done before the Instructor course.
Once you have passed your Instructor examinations you will be able to instruct on any Lift Truck that you have an operator certificate for.
How Long is a training course?
Novice Course – 10-12 Days
Re-registration – 3 or 5 Days
