Electric Truck Basics
2 Day Course
This course provides engineers with the knowledge they need to understand how electric trucks work, enabling them to maintain the trucks correctly and diagnose faults more effectively.
This training is perfect for engineers who have lots of experience working on ICE trucks, but limited electric truck experience.
It also serves as a good refresher for those who already have relevant experience.
Hydraulic Principles
2 Day Course
This course gives engineers a complete overview of hydraulic systems, from basic working hydraulic components and circuits, to more complex hydrostatic systems.
This information enables engineers to maintain, diagnose and repair hydraulic systems effectively and safely.
Managing Lift Truck Operators
1 Day Course
This course is designed to ensure that managers and supervisors who oversee the use of forklift trucks in the workplace understand how to meet their responsibilities for safety and compliance.
Though supervisory staff are not required to be qualified forklift operators, they need the knowledge and confidence to be able to identify good and bad practice in order to maintain a safe working environment. This course provides them these core skills and more.
The course meets the requirements of UK health and safety guidance and legislation, specifically, ACOP (L117) and PUWER.
