A lift rarely goes wrong because someone missed a course – it goes wrong because the accessory was the wrong one, the load was misjudged, or the machine was rebuilt without a new risk assessment. The catalogue holds the course in CE marking and the risks of lifting appliances and lifting accessories: what applies when you buy in, rebuild or join lifting equipment together, and what the documentation has to contain.

How operator training runs
- 1
The theory
Regulations, load charts, stability, risk assessment and daily checks, with knowledge questions at the end.
- 2
The practice
Driving and handling with an instructor present, with your own equipment in your own environment where possible.
- 3
The permit
The training shows the operator has the knowledge. The permit is the employer's own, and it says who may drive what and where – we hand over a template if you do not have one.
Refreshers
Knowledge about lifting and machinery has to be kept current. Many workplaces and clients require a refresher every few years – plan it together with the rest of your training.
Common questions about lifting and machinery
Questions from supervisors who have to make sure everyone has the right training and permit.
- Is a forklift licence from a previous employer enough?
- The training follows the person, but the permit does not. Every employer issues its own written permit stating which truck types and tasks it covers.
- Can the theory be done remotely?
- Yes, the theory is an online course the participant takes at their own pace. The practical part is always done with an instructor present.
- How many participants can do the practice at the same time?
- We keep the groups small so that everyone gets enough time on the machine. Tell us the number of participants and we will suggest a setup.
Plan this year's training
Tell us what equipment you have and we will suggest which courses are needed and when they should be repeated.
