Yet another ALLMI Lorry Loader course run in Cornwall.

Very wet conditions for this 2 day course. But the delegates reached the required standard. To discuss your training requirements contact: steve@smctrainingservice.co.uk or call 07870 901167

Even though we had 2 experienced operators, they have to demonstrate that they have the skills to reach the high standards required to qualify for the ALLMI Operator Qualification. Here the delegate demonstrates that he has control & smooth use of the Fassi 66 tonne/metre machine – capable of lifting 16,000kgs @ 3.4 metres. Once he has demonstrated this a couple of times. We move onto bigger loads!!!!!!

Touchdown……excellent! The “tag-line” man – stops the load from over rotating only with a tag line attached on opposing sides! Helping as part of a team to make it safe to execute the planned lift.

If you want the highest Lorry Loader qualification currently available in the UK, alongside DCPC hrs as well, contact Steve : steve@smctrainingservice.co.uk or call 07870 901167 to discuss your training requirements.

Always good to be close to home when working rather than the other side of the country, standards are still set & more often met by the delegates. The 2 delegates on this counter balance course were excellent, and after a period of familiarisation training from their company will no doubt go on to help the production flow using the forklifts on site.

Just gotta love getting wet & muddy for our customers!

So when we do Forklift training we endeavour to make it as difficult as possible for the delegates, we do have guidelines over the space allowed in a pallet chicane, here the delegate demonstrates near perfect position to get the loaded forklift (combined gross weight of over 5900kgs) around both of the 90 degree left & right hand turns. A fair degree of practice and understanding goes into this prior to them being this good at it, and me picking the knocked over pallets up where they are learning this skill. People do ask “When am i likely to use this skill again?”

In tight situations you will remember how the machine is able to turn through 90 degree’s – whether its any where on the current sight, or even in the future on another tight site or area. Its something that stays with the operator for as long as they drive the machine.

Its always great to get feedback from either the course delegates or their managers, both satisfied customers. Both have the offer of my support moving forward & both of these people have had help from me so that they remain compliant with their forklift systems of work!

More forklift training completed for a repeat client. The delegates achieved the set standards comfortably. Fantastic delegates that enjoyed the training course (based on the feedback comments received), i love this location, and the facilities are excellent for the training to be conducted safely out of the way of general public & other site staff.

Today was a long but very rewarding day, as we assessed 3 very experienced delegates on 2 of there Lorry Loader cranes. Even the larger 1 of these 2 loaders was dwarfed by some of the Cranes these guys have on site. But the delegates attained the very high ALLMI standards after a bit of guidance. The 3 delegates also added 7 hrs training towards their Driver CPC total, by adding this option alongside the lorry loader training. Happy to have another new South West customer choosing to have the Premium choice of qualification for the company to remain compliant.

We have been kept as busy as ever, no let up at all this year, conducting both Reach & Counter Balance training for existing clients & for new clients as well. The standard of driving has been very high with the delegates able to demonstrate that they are safe and now compliant. Get in touch for a chat to see if we can help your company out in remaining compliant as well.

For the last few weeks SMC Training Service has been conducting IPAF Operator MEWP training on behalf of a Nationwide Platforms, its fair to say that we have had mixed weather, some great delegates – most achieved the high standards required (and some didn’t!!). But at least we had a choice of machines to use!! For all or your training requirements, contact Steve on:
