More up in the air training on MEWP’s, this week in Barnstaple on a construction site. Before the rains came we managed to get these chaps through their 3a (Scissor Lift) & 3b (Mobile Boom) training. 40 feet plus up, with the wind speed being monitored by themselves (i gave them my hand held wind gauge – Anemometer to use), they attained a very safe standard. Call Steve on 07870 901167 or email : steve@smctrainingservice.co.uk to discuss your training requirements.

Recently whilst on site training these chaps on their J4 JCB Teletruk, they asked if they could automatically use their site “lifting platform” that they had. I said – “Only if you demonstrate that you:

a. Have all of the Reports of Thorough Examination up to date for all of the equipment involved. Forklift – check. Man cage – check. My harness & adjustable Lanyard fitted correctly – check.

b. Risk Assessment & Rescue plan completed – check.

Well up you go gents! Happy to help out where previous training courses & providers hadn’t bothered to cover this off with the staff.

Sometimes its the little things that mean a lot to staff & companies. To discuss your training requirements call Steve on 07870 901167 or email: steve@smctrainingservice.co.uk

All in a days work for the 2 delegates, both were excellent & safe at what they do. Long my they keep it up. The 2 drivers also added 7 CPC hours as well as gaining a ALLMI Accredited Lorry Loader qualification.

Spent a great 3 days in Gloucester this week, conducting Telehandler training on a site that made for some great training, the delegates benefitted from using all available attachments on the various tasks required around the 200 acre site. Lorries were unloaded as well. All delegates were excellent, in both their attitude & practical application. I very much look forward to a return to this location in the Gloucestershire sun!

Its been a hectic last few weeks, so much so that i have forgotten to update this page – here are just a few of the ALLMI Lorry Loader courses that have been run in Devon over the last few weeks!

This experienced Counter balance operator was converted over to the companies Pivot Steer forklift earlier this week in a 1 day course run up in Worcester. The delegate demonstrated a safe attitude and a willingness to learn a new machine, which by his own admission was technically a harder machine to operate. Using these machines requires lots of practise (which he had) and a lot of concentration. Well done Sandro! Now stay safe!

Another return to a repeat client, this time putting 2 delegates through their paces on a beautiful sunny day in Devon today. Both experienced delegates attained the standard and demonstrated a safe attitude combined with good knowledge & sympathetic use of the lorry loader.
