Our Rough Terrain Forklift Training Courses, UK
We offer rough terrain fork truck training courses for novices and experienced drivers in UK areas like Leicester, Northampton, Birmingham, Nottingham, Warwick, Derby, West Midlands, and East Midlands, because this environment introduces unique challenges. Operators who have been working indoors for a while should consider refresher forklift training for Rough Terrain drivers before transitioning to a different work environment.
Operating a forklift in rough terrain means that the operator has to consider stability. They have to watch out for slopes, holes, trenches, and other obstacles. Drivers need to train to manoeuvre around these obstacles and learn to judge the rough terrain properly when using fork trucks to transporting construction materials and other common loads in outdoor environments.
