Forklift Training In Burnley

The Forklift training team in Burnley have continued to be busy during lockdown. As training eased, we kept supplying our customers based in Burnley with useful information on everything forklift truck. We get phone calls daily asking common questions regarding forklift trucks. So we thought this would be a good opportunity to answer them in our news posts.

We’re booming with manufacturing companies in Burnley, with the majority of them having forklift trucks on site. 

As we play a sizeable part in the training industry we thought it would be a good idea to set up a question and answer day.

What Training Topics We Discussed

We discussed everything from forklift trucks on public roads, how to obtain a forklift licence, job specific and familiarisation training. We also discussed the legal age to operate a forklift truck, which always catches people out.
