At our extensive purpose-built training facilities, we can create various construction scenarios – the sort you’re likely to meet out on-site, using a wide range of plant and equipment.
Learn with the professionals – expert NPORS Telehandler Suspended Loads training from Ivor King
This NPORS training course provides delegates with the knowledge and practical skills involved in operating a Telescopic Handler with Suspended Loads (Crane Lifting Attachments) and best practice methods in delivering this operation in the workplace.
On just about every construction site, you’ll see a Telescopic Handler. The Telehandler is a wheeled vehicle, rather like a forklift with a telescopic boom, and is usually the main piece of kit responsible for loading and unloading trailers. They’re often seen as essential equipment for keeping sites moving, transporting materials to where they’re needed.
We specialise in one-to-one Telehandler courses based on experience. Plus, we offer a free assessment if you’re unsure of how much training you may or may not require.
Our Telehandlers are permanently available, allowing complete flexibility to offer you this course at a time and date to suit your requirements.
Join us at our professional and modern training facilities in the heart of the Midlands and get the skills to progress your career in the construction industry. Easily accessible, we’re only 20 miles drive from Birmingham and just an hour from London on the train.
