Industrial Telescopic Lift Trucks

Duration: 5 Days Lantra Lantra-certified

Comprehensive training in the safe operation of industrial telescopic handlers (telehandlers), including stability, load charts, attachments and confined manoeuvring.

Industrial telescopic handlers are powerful, versatile machines found across construction sites, warehouses and industrial settings. Operating them safely demands a thorough understanding of machine dynamics, load management and site awareness. This comprehensive five-day course from DJW Training is designed to give operators the knowledge and practical skills to work confidently and responsibly with telehandlers in demanding environments.

Delivered to Lantra standards, this course combines classroom-based instruction with hands-on machine time, ensuring candidates develop both the theoretical grounding and real-world competence that employers expect. Suitable for those new to telehandler operation as well as those looking to formalise existing skills, the training offers a structured pathway to recognised certification.
