We carry out all types of training - Basic, Refresher, Conversion, and Familiarisation, Specific Job Training etc. on a wide range of forklift trucks, access equipment and lorry loading cranes.

All of our training courses can be conducted on either your site or at our training centre.  Our preference is to train at our training facility as we are able to train without interruption and on the very latest equipment.   However if you wish the training can be carried out on your site provided that there is a suitable area for both practical driver tuition, examination, available equipment and a room for the video and theory presentations. At Servatruc we use video and other visual aids during the training; we also ensure that each trainee gets the time on the machine and individual tuition that they require to successfully complete the course.

All of our forklift courses are accredited by the INDEPENDANT TRAINING STANDARDS SCHEME AND REGISTER (ITSSAR) who are recognised as an accrediting body by the Health & Safety Commission. All of our forklift and access equipment courses comply with the standards that are laid down in the Health & Safety Commissions Approved Code of Practice. On successful completion of the training course the operator will receive a nationally recognised operator’s certificate and photo licence.
