F2 VNA (Man Down) Courses

Been running 2 day F2 VNA (Man Down) conversion courses this week for a local customer. This machine is completely free roaming but we also train wire guided or guard rail types.

D2 Reach Truck Training Courses

A D2 Reach Truck Course is for those Reach Operators working with Reach Trucks that require a top lift of above 8 metres. The test would include a lift to a height higher than 8 metres in order to attain a D2 Operators certificate. In this photograph instructor Mark is lifting to a height of 8500mm during a course on a customers site.

B2 Counterbalance Operator Courses

Here we have a local customers B2 Counterbalance forklift truck. We offer all courses on these machines from novices to refreshers or most commonly conversion courses for operators who already hold certificates of training for other types.

J1 Rough Terrain Fixed Masted Counterbalance

So spent a very cold day at a local customers running a conversion course on this Rough Terrain Counterbalance for three very capable operators. Not that common a machine these in my experience workplaces preferring the J2 Telescopic Handlers generally I find, but nice to have a change now and again.

A1 Powered Pallet Courses

So been training and testing a couple of trainees today on this little Cesab powered pallet truck up in Washington in the north east. Probably the most basic type of machine we provide training on, but not to be underestimated these machines. Being pedestrian operated we are happy to provide on site only certification for these machines which many of our customers ask for. We also offer ITSSAR accreditation for them if requested.

Special Attachment Courses

One of the big recent improvements to TOPs register. The Trained Operator Passport Scheme allows accredited training providers such as Aire & Worth Valley Training Services to state exactly which attachment was fitted on the machine on which the test was undertaken. Which can then be verified by the customer. This large paper clamp can clamp rolls of paper up to two tonnes and can be fully rotated for exact positioning purposes. Due to the weight of the attachment the de-ration on the machine is almost 3 tonnes.

J4 Industrial Telescopic Reach Truck Courses

We offer training on this type at all levels from Novice to Refresher. A very useful machine especially in a small yard where room constraints mean a lorry bed can only be loaded from one side, this machine copes with that really well. In this photograph Mark is demonstrating the reach of the machine.

P1 Pivot Steer Rider Operated Courses

Another Photograph of Mark demonstrating stacking to floor level on a Pivot Steer machine. A course we offer at all levels from beginner to refresher for those that have been trained previously.

3B Mobile Boom Courses

Another course we offer that many of our customers benefit use our services to provide. This course can be registered onto ITSSARs TOPs register.

B4 Stand on Counterbalance Courses

Quite a rare machine type this, we only have two customers that have them. This photograph is Pre COVID my trainees are practising their Pre Use Inspection test here. Useful little machine for lighter loads in tight areas.

Sideloader Courses

Here we are training for a regular customer in Bradford. The trainee is practising lifting a standard of timber from just over 3 metres. Our first course with a battery powered Sideloader this, so a bit different even for us. Really impressed with both the machine and our trainees, it was bitter cold in this storage shed.

T (J2) Transportable Telescopic Forklift

Not the most common of Transportable Forklifts. This is one of trainees practising loading on his lorry for a local customer.

Overhead Gantry Crane Course

Our second most popular course. We offer this course either ITSSAR Accredited or as a On Site only Certificate. This is one of our regular customers, their crane has an unusual fixed double crab to help control the swing of the loads of steel tube it is used to unload.

B1 Counterbalance Courses

Our most popular course by far we offer courses to suit everyone. From novices that have never used the machine, experienced untrained operator courses for those who can operate but have never been trained before, refresher courses for those needing to renew their certificate, and also conversion training for those who have been trained on one type and need to convert to another.

M1 Multi-Directional Counterbalance Course

Been training for a customer in Leeds this week. Here’s the novice operator quite early in the course working on basic steering. Not the most common multi- Directional type this, really useful if the site doesn’t have enough space or the need for the more common Reach version.

E1 Order Picker Training

Mark one of our Instructors just getting a bit of familiarisation training on a Order Picker with a very unique picking platform for an up coming course in Keighley
