Side Loader Lift Trucks (Standard / Refresher / Assessment)
Lantra-certified
Safe operation of side loader lift trucks for long and awkward loads, with standard, refresher and assessment-only routes.
Side loader lift trucks are essential for handling long, awkward and heavy loads such as timber, steel sections and piping. Operating them safely requires a specific set of skills, and our Lantra-accredited training ensures operators are fully competent and confident in the workplace.
At DJW Training, we offer three flexible routes: a full standard course for new operators, a refresher for those returning to the machine or updating their skills, and an assessment-only option for experienced operators seeking formal certification.
What you'll cover
- Pre-operational checks and understanding manufacturer guidelines
- Safe loading, unloading and load securing techniques
- Manoeuvring with long and oversized loads in confined or open spaces
- Stability principles and safe working load awareness
- Workplace hazard identification and risk management
- Shutdown procedures and post-operational responsibilities
Each course is tailored to the operator's experience level and the specific demands of their working environment. Whether you need a full programme for a new team member or a focused refresher to keep existing operators up to date, DJW Training can accommodate your requirements.
