Reach Truck Conversion Course

ITSSAR ACCREDITED REACH TRUCK CONVERSION COURSE

Reach Truck Conversion CourseITSSAR Counterbalance Training Littlehampton

Our reach truck conversion course is perfect for operators who have already been trained on a different forklift truck and hold a valid certificate.

So if you already have a Counterbalance or Bendi Forklift Truck certificate, then you can convert to a Reach Truck using our reach truck conversion course.

The reach truck conversion course can be conducted at our training centre or on-site at your work premises.

The reach truck conversion course is typically a two day course which is conducted with a maximum of 3 trainees, however courses can be conducted over a shorter duration with fewer trainees. 1 Trainee can be converted on a 1 day course for example which can be conducted part time over 2 evenings if required.

Our courses are accredited by ITSSAR, recognised nationally for Reach Truck Refresher Training.

It is recommended by the HSE that refresher training take place after a set period of time (eg 3 — 5 years) to make sure employees stay competent (HSE Lift-truck training — Advice for employers).

Reach Truck Conversion Training is ITSSAR Accredited and available to businesses and individuals across West Sussex and East Sussex to include Chichester, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton, Worthing, Lancing, Hove, Brighton, Portsmouth and all surrounding area’s. If you are not sure if we cover your area please call us or use our contact form page as a member of the team are always happy to assist you.

FORKLIFT TRAINING COSTS

It’s a well known fact that there are companies out there which offer Reach Truck Conversion Courses on a pay monthly cost, this involves signing up for finance and usually incurs a very high interest rate and in some cases a deposit.

Normally these companies do not train their pupils direct and ultimately request quotes from companies like us. At Luft Training Services our Reach Truck Conversion Course costs are both competitive and low so you can afford to go direct.
