Forklift operations handled by untrained operators will always lead to costly damages and sometimes accidents. Also, it can lead to legal issues due to non-compliance. To prevent all these, HGVC offers on- and off-site counterbalance and reach-forklift training courses that equip the company's operators with everything they need to operate safely and effectively within a warehouse environment. The courses have been accredited by RTITB, ITSAAR, NPORS, ALLMI, and AITT and are all available at novice, skilled, and refresher operator levels.
Answering a query, the company spokesperson said, "HGV drivers have both proactive and reactive vehicle maintenance responsibilities. Proactively, drivers need to carry out daily walk-around inspections of their trucks, as well as post-trip checks. These inspections represent the first line of defence against mechanical failure, with any issues found being promptly reported and dealt with before the vehicle is used again."
Typically, the reach and counterbalance training courses certify individuals to drive a forklift with up to 500 kg lift capacity and their duration usually ranges from one to five days, depending on the driver's experience level. Regardless of whichever course a client takes part in, their operators are going to learn how to identify and minimize dangers to both them and those in the surrounding area; Proper care for battery-powered, LPG and diesel trucks; handling pallets; basic forklift operation; hydraulic control operations; safety education; and end it with a knowledge and competency assessment test.
The company spokesperson added, "In terms of reactive responsibilities, drivers need to practice good judgement when encountering issues on the road, backed by the knowledge needed to assess whether a vehicle can continue on its journey or must be pulled over and a problem immediately reported. For more insights, clients can contact us."
Since the specific requirements of businesses with regard to forklifts can be different, HGVC's training courses can also be customized to meet clients' business needs. This includes tailoring the training based on the particular forklift models that a client's business uses or tailoring the training based on the specific protocols relevant to the client's industry. Additionally, the company also provides specialized forklift operator training for more niche requirements, such as telescopic handlers for construction sites, powered pallet trucks for efficient load handling, side loaders for long materials, narrow aisle forklifts for optimized warehouse space and rough terrain forklifts designed for challenging outdoor environments.
