Telehandler (Telescopic Handler) Training
Telehandlers are versatile machines used for lifting and placing loads at height or over obstacles on construction sites, farms, and industrial sites. Their telescopic boom allows precise handling of pallets, materials, and equipment in areas where a standard forklift cannot reach.
We provide certified training for all Telehandler categories – J1, J2, and J3:
-
J1 – Compact telehandlers for smaller loads and lighter duties
-
J2 – Standard telehandlers for general lifting tasks
-
J3 – Heavy-duty telehandlers for high-capacity loads and extended reach
Our courses are designed for novice, experienced, and refresher operators. Training covers safe operation, load handling, boom control, stability, inspections, and working on uneven surfaces.
Sharpen your skills and ensure compliance with our expert, hands-on Telehandler training — delivered on-site, in small groups, with flexible scheduling to suit your business needs.
