Why Angus Lift Trucks?
At Angus, we are proud to offer cherry picker and boom lift driver courses onsite at our Midlands location or your job site, in areas like Leicester, Northampton, Birmingham, Nottingham, Warwick, Derby, West Midlands, and East Midlands.
A cherry picker forklift, sometimes called a boom lift, is used for lifting workers in the air to accomplish a task that a ladder won’t allow.
Occasionally the worker on the platform also controls the cherry picker. Some cherry pickers are designed to retrieve items from high shelves in warehouses.
Operating a boom lift requires a certain level of expertise and training, especially when trying to keep your employees safe. Angus offers boom lift training courses for novices and experienced drivers so that you can make sure all of your employees are certified and on the same page.
