Side Loader Forklift Training
Side loader forklifts place the operator alongside the load they are lifting, rather than having it in front. If you require training for this unique type of forklift, then our team at East Midlands Forklifts has you covered via our sister company, East Midlands Driver Training.
Our AITT-accredited instructors have extensive knowledge and experience with side loader forklifts and will provide comprehensive guidance regarding every aspect of the machine. For complete efficiency, and to give you practical experience in a familiar setting, side loader forklift training can be delivered at your own site.
