At HL Training, our team of accredited forklift instructors provide a range of pallet truck training courses. We deliver the highest standard of training to enable you to use pallet trucks safely and effectively. We also provide a full range of forklift operator training.
The main benefits of these trucks are that they are cheaper to buy and maintain than standard Counterbalance Forklift or Reach Trucks and use considerably less space within the working environment than alternative pallet truck types.
Additionally, as per the below course timings, they take a lot less time to train candidates due to the simplicity of the pallet truck.
Pallet trucks cover various ABA Categories and include pedestrian pallet trucks or rider pallet trucks. In addition, they can be Manual, Semi Manual or Electric. There are also instances where they have a fold-down platform for use when moving from A to B within the working environment. At HL, we can provide pallet truck training on all categories of pallet trucks and cover all makes and models.
These are the categories agreed upon between all ABA members, and new course testing criteria were released in 2019 with an improved standard for Pre Use Checks, Practical Testing and Theory Tests.
Course timings are based on a 3:1 candidate-to-instructor ratio.
Our pedestrian and manual pallet truck training courses are available at 3 levels:
Our pallet truck courses are comprehensive and cover many topics, including (but not limited to):

All of our pallet truck courses are assessed through theoretical and practical tests and a pre-use check. These are mandatory testing elements. To successfully complete the course, you must pass all three assessment elements.
After completing a pallet truck course, you will receive a certification (and a photo ID card will be available). Your certificate will be accredited by your chosen accrediting body (ITSSAR, RTITB, or AITT). ID cards are also available but may incur additional costs depending on your course.
Operating a pallet truck does not require a license. The accredited certificate earned from successfully completing a course is a legal document and allows you to operate a pallet truck.
