Reach Forklift Training
Reach forklift trucks are typically used in narrow isles for stacking and unstacking pallets where precision driving is essential to maintain safety and avoid damage to stock. Today operators must hold a suitable certificate of training and have passed a nationally recognised course. BB Training Services has a long proud history of training operators and with a high pass rate you can be confident that our instruction is amongst the best in the industry.

ITSSAR
The forklift training is carried out to a standard accredited by: ITSSAR (Independent Training Standards Scheme and Register) in line with the HSE guidelines as published in L117 (Approved Code of Practice for Rider Operated Lift Truck Operator Training).
“One day I noticed that one of the trainees, who was unemployed, was struggling to read and over lunch it came to light that he did not have a CV and he had lost his confidence. In spare moments during the course I helped him put together a resume and armed with his course pass he went on to get a job as a forklift truck driver. 5-years on he is still driving a forklift truck.”
