Common Questions
Is this the same as a reach forklift licence?
Yes – it’s formal training and certification to operate reach trucks legally and safely.
What’s the difference between this and counterbalance training?
Reach trucks are designed for narrow aisles and high racking, with a moving mast. This course covers those unique handling skills.
Is NPORS recognised?
Absolutely. NPORS is widely accepted in the UK by logistics firms, warehouses, and construction employers.
Can we book group training at our depot?
Yes, we offer on-site training for companies – we just need a safe space and a suitable truck.
