Forklift Training for Warehousing and Distribution

GH Training provides practical, AITT-accredited forklift and material handling equipment training for warehouses, distribution centres and fulfilment operations across the North West, North Wales and West Yorkshire.

Training is delivered at your workplace using the equipment and conditions your operators encounter during their normal duties.

Training for Busy Warehouse Environments

Warehousing and distribution sites often involve forklifts, pedestrians, delivery vehicles, loading bays, racking systems and restricted operating spaces.

Effective training must therefore cover more than operating the truck. Operators need to understand how their actions affect other people, equipment, stock and the wider workplace.

Training can reflect:

• Warehouse layouts and pedestrian routes
• Racking systems and aisle widths
• Loading and unloading activities
• Restricted visibility and blind spots
• Workplace traffic-management arrangements
• Different loads, pallets and attachments
• Shift patterns and operational requirements

Forklift and MHE Courses

Relevant courses for warehouse and distribution operations include:

• Counterbalance Forklift Training
• Reach Truck Training
• Pivot Steer (Flexi/Bendi) Training
• Pedestrian Pallet Truck Training
• Vertical Stock Picker Training
• Multidirectional Forklift Training
• MEWP Training
• Managing and Supervising MHE Operations

Courses are available for novice operators, experienced operators, conversion training and refresher training.

Training Delivered at Your Premises

On-site training allows instruction to reflect the equipment, loads, operating areas and procedures found at your workplace.

It can also reduce employee travel and disruption while helping operators apply their learning directly to their normal working environment.

Before recommending a course, we will review:

• The equipment category
• Operator experience
• The number of learners
• The working environment
• Any previous training held
• Your operational and scheduling requirements

Supporting Operator Competence

Completing a training course is only one part of managing workplace transport safely.

Employers should also provide suitable supervision, monitor operator performance and arrange additional training when equipment, duties or working conditions change.

Refresher or remedial training may also be appropriate following an incident, unsafe operation, a long absence from operating or evidence that an operator’s knowledge or ability has declined.
