Train forklift operators and supervisors for more safety
When bringing on new people, reassigning responsibilities, or adjusting your processes to keep up with demand, training is vital to optimise the safety and efficiency of your operation. With our wide range of training we can help your business to improve safety and reduce downtime. We offer dedicated forklift driver training and courses for supervisors at our training facilities or on site.
The importance of trained staff
A productive warehouse starts with a safe workplace. Since working with material handling equipment creates a high-risk environment, it is important to raise awareness among drivers, and knowing how to operate a forklift efficiently and safely already reduces the risk of accidents.
Our forklift operator training solutions can ease the operation and help to protect your employees, equipment, and materials with a comprehensive and immersive set of smart training solutions. We can also assist HR and Health & Safety managers with material handling risk analysis to help complying with local requirements and finding ways to improve your operation.

Eco-driving: 10% emission reduction and 6% cost saving
We encourage managers and supervisors to plan their operations in a leaner way to reduce time pressures, and to help their operators to have a better overall understanding of their role and responsibilities, driving with more care and focusing on safety - and that, in turn, also reduces energy consumption and emissions.
By working in a smooth and careful way, the number of accidents can also be dramatically reduced, saving stock and equipment damage and of course the risk of personal injury.
