Build warehouse and driving capability together

For many businesses in Hartlepool, forklift competence is the immediate need, especially where loading, storage and yard work all affect the pace and safety of the operation. We provide forklift truck training with Counterbalance and Reach as the main routes, plus pedestrian pallet truck instruction where that suits the work. The right course depends on the equipment being used, the operator's experience and whether novice, refresher or conversion training is needed. We talk through those points clearly so you can choose training that reflects the actual task instead of booking a course that is broader or narrower than required.

Choose site-based or facility-based practical training

Suitable forklift training can take place at your Hartlepool workplace or through our dedicated facility, depending on the truck type, environment and what you want operators to practise. For employers looking beyond equipment handling, we can also discuss HGV driver training as a complementary route when both warehouse and commercial driving skills need to develop within the same team. That joined-up approach can make workforce planning simpler, particularly where roles overlap between loading, yard work and transport duties.
