About This Course
Our Pivot Steer Training course covers the safe operation of articulated (pivot steer) trucks, often used to make the most of storage space in very narrow aisles. Their articulated steering handles very differently to a standard forklift, so dedicated training is essential.
The course follows the RTITB structure, combining theory with practical training in aisle and open-floor operation, and finishes with a formal assessment. On-site training is available using your own equipment.
