Side Loader

A side loader forklift, often just called a side loader, is a type of industrial truck specially designed for lifting and transporting long or wide loads in tight spaces. Unlike traditional forklifts where the forks are situated at the front of the vehicle, side loaders carry their loads at the side.

C1 - Lift truck up to and including 5 tonne
C2 - Lift truck over 5 and up to and including 15 tonne
C3 - Lift truck over 15 tonne

Course Details

The sideloader lift truck courses we offer are aimed at operators with different levels of ability. We are able to cater for both novice and experienced handlers. We also offer conversion and refresher courses.

This can vary depending on the experience level and the number of candidates completing the course. For a novice with no prior experience, a typical course can last between 3-5 days, and for the more experienced handler, courses including the conversion course can be completed within 2-3 days. A refresher course can be completed on the same day, aslong as the candidate has an in-date certificate within the previous 5 years

This will depend on what level of experience the candidates have already reached. The list below explains what course is best suited to each candidate;

Novice course - The novice course is designed for candidates who have had no previous experience on this equipment

Experienced course - The experienced course is designed for candidates who hav previous experience on this type of equipment but cannot provide evidence of a previous accredited training certificate

Conversion course - The conversion course is designed for candidates who have previous experience working on a similar piece of equipment to the counterbalance truck

Refresher course - The refresher course is designed for candidates wishing to extend their current certificate (Handlers must have an in-date certificate within the previous 5 years)
