Our Multi Directional Forklift Driver Training

Even if you or your employees have training on other lift trucks, you need training on multi-directional forklifts. Some forklifts can handle massive loads, so the driver needs to be able to manoeuvre the load easily.

Angus also offers refresher forklift training classes for Multi-Directional drivers. Using the equipment every day can make it seem easier, but a refresher can help remind drivers of certain functions. That way, your Multi-Directional forklift drivers can stay up-to-date on safety measures and other concerns.
