Forklift & equipment training

Practical on-site operator training for businesses in Wigan and across the North West.

What we offer

The right training for your work

Every site and operator is different. Tell Steve what equipment you have, who needs training and where you are. He’ll discuss the right approach and provide a quote before any dates are arranged.

Lift truck training may involve basic, specific-job and familiarisation stages. The exact route depends on the operator’s experience, equipment and workplace. Read HSE guidance

Counterbalance forklift training

Counterbalance trucks are a familiar sight in warehouses, yards and production sites. ACL’s on-site training is shaped around safe truck checks, handling, manoeuvring, stacking and the everyday hazards operators meet at work.

Suitable training can be discussed for new operators, experienced operators needing reassessment, and people returning after time away.

Reach truck training

Reach trucks work in tighter aisles and at greater storage heights, so operators need to understand the particular controls, visibility and load-handling risks. Training at your premises can reflect the layout and equipment your team actually uses.

If someone already operates a counterbalance truck, conversion training may be appropriate after their experience is assessed.

MEWP training

Mobile elevating work platforms help people work at height, but correct selection and use matter. ACL can discuss training for the relevant MEWP category, pre-use checks, positioning and safe operating practices.

Operators also need familiarisation with the make and model they will use at work.

Overhead crane training

Overhead cranes move heavy loads through busy working areas. Practical training covers the responsibilities of the operator and the safe planning, control and movement of loads in your working environment.

Steve can advise on the right training and assessment for the equipment, load types and work carried out on your site.

Slinging and signalling

People attaching, slinging or directing loads need to understand the lifting equipment, communication and risk controls involved. ACL can discuss practical training for your team’s slinging and signalling tasks.

The content should be matched to the loads, accessories and lifting operations used in your workplace.

Pallet truck training

Pallet trucks can seem simple, yet poor handling can still cause injuries, collisions and damaged stock. Training helps operators understand checks, load stability, pedestrian awareness and safe movement around the workplace.

Ask Steve about the training appropriate to the powered or manual pallet trucks used by your team.

At your workplace

Training is delivered at your site, using suitable equipment and an agreed safe training area.

For your operators

Discuss training for beginners, experienced operators, reassessment or conversion to other equipment.
