Key Assessment Areas

-
Manoeuvring: Evaluating the ability to navigate the pedestrian forklift through a challenging chicane/obstacle course, demonstrating control and safety in both forward and reverse directions, with and without loads.
-
Alignment: Assessing precision in executing tight 90º turns in confined aisles, both left and right, forward and reverse, which is crucial for pedestrian forklift operation in narrow spaces.
-
Transportation: Testing skills in safely driving the pedestrian forklift around the workplace, including navigating various challenges such as ramps, uneven surfaces, and obstacles, with different load conditions to simulate real-world scenarios.
-
Stacking: Measuring competence in stacking and de-stacking tasks at various heights and configurations, including ground level, eye level, and high-level positions, both in open areas and within pallet racking systems.
-
External Transport: Verifying the ability to efficiently load and unload lorries, vans, trailers, or rail wagons by driving on and off or operating from ground level, ensuring the safe handling of goods for external transport.
-
End of Shift Procedures: Confirming that trainees follow proper end-of-shift protocols, including refuelling (if applicable), safely parking the forklift, securing it by applying the parking brake, removing the ignition key, checking for any defects, and ensuring the equipment is left in a safe and secure state.
Testing and Certification Details
The Practical Test and Its Importance
Our pedestrian forklift training culminates in a practical test, a crucial step towards certification. This test, validated and approved by either NPORS, LANTRA, ITSSAR or Quality Assurance (depending on your preferences) is a comprehensive evaluation of your forklift operating skills. Passing this test signifies that you have attained the proficiency required to operate a pedestrian forklift safely and effectively. It's important to note that this test is not just a formality; it's a rigorous assessment that ensures you are ready for real-world forklift operations.
Three stages of Training
Basic Training: This is where you'll learn the fundamentals of counterbalance operation, including handling and safety procedures. It's the first step towards becoming a competent operator.
Specific Job Training: Tailored to your workplace, this stage includes training on specific handling attachments and knowledge of the work environment.
Familiarisation Training: Conducted on the job under close supervision, this stage allows you to apply what you've learned in a practical setting, ensuring you're comfortable and competent in your specific work context.

The practical test has undergone revisions to ensure it remains relevant and challenging. These changes include an updated marking sheet, where certain faults may now score higher, reflecting the emphasis on safety and precision in operations.
