Telehandler
Whether you are using a Telehandler, Reach, or Side Loader truck – in the wrong hands due to no accreditation, low experience, poor training, or just sheer recklessness – these trucks can cause death or life-changing injuries!
This can be in the form of the vehicle overturning, being struck by another truck, being trapped by a load, or causing the fatality of another by poor driving or actions.
Our accredited trainers combine theory and practical exercises in accordance with health and safety executive guidelines and we continually achieve high success rates.
