The RTITB Reach Truck training course will give you the skills to operate a reach truck safely and efficiently, carry out a pre-use inspection, and recall the causes of truck and load instability. Operators should be trained to an essential level of skill to work with Reach trucks safely, efficiently and with competence.
In this online Forklift Training video, our instructor Riz demonstrates a 90 degree turn with a laden pallet into an industrial racking and how to safely stack at eye level using a Reach Truck. This is another common truck for Novice (beginner) forklift training.
