Rough Terrain Telescopic Lift Trucks
Lantra-certified
Operation of rough-terrain telescopic handlers on uneven and outdoor sites, covering ground conditions, stability and safe load handling.
Operating a telescopic handler on rough or uneven ground demands a thorough understanding of machine behaviour, load dynamics and site awareness. DJW Training's Rough Terrain Telescopic Lift Trucks course provides the practical knowledge and hands-on experience operators need to work safely and confidently across challenging outdoor environments.
Delivered over two days and aligned with Lantra and ABA standards, this course is suitable for both those new to telescopic handlers and experienced operators looking to formalise their competence. Participants will develop a strong foundation in safe working practices specific to rough terrain conditions.
What you'll cover
