About This Course
Our Vehicle Mounted Lift Truck Training course covers truck-mounted forklifts, carried on the back of a delivery vehicle and used to unload at the customer’s site. Operators often work kerbside and on uneven ground, close to members of the public, which brings its own risks.
The course follows the RTITB structure, covering theory, mounting and dismounting, and practical delivery tasks, and finishes with a formal assessment. Training can be delivered at your depot.
