Pivot Steer Lift Trucks

Pivot steer, or articulated, lift trucks are specialist machines built for narrow-aisle and high-density storage environments where conventional forklifts simply cannot operate effectively. Mastering them demands a clear understanding of their unique steering geometry, stability characteristics and the confined spaces in which they work.

DJW Training's five-day pivot steer lift truck course provides comprehensive, Lantra-accredited instruction that takes operators from the fundamentals of machine familiarity right through to confident, safe performance in real working conditions. Whether you are new to this type of equipment or looking to formalise existing experience, our programme gives you the knowledge and practical skills that employers and industry standards require.

What you'll cover

• Pre-operational checks, daily inspection routines and manufacturer guidelines
• The principles of articulated steering and how pivot steer geometry affects stability
• Safe manoeuvring, turning and travel in narrow aisles and racking environments
• Load assessment, attachment use and safe stacking at height
• Recognising and managing hazards specific to high-density storage settings
• Legislation, operator responsibilities and best practice for workplace safety

We can tailor content to suit your specific site layout, racking configuration or operational requirements. Refresher and assessment courses are also available for operators who need to renew their certification or update their skills.
