Course Detail
Short or long distance
Powered pallet trucks come in either rider or pedestrian versions. The rider version, often known as PPT (rider) is an electric low-level lifting and moving machine.
PPT’s function is to move palletised stock at low-level from A to B. Whether that is loading and unloading lorries or just distributing pallets around the warehouse. They are very manoeuvrable and able to carry loads over a long distance.
The operator stands on a small platform at the back and controls the speed and direction from a tiler.
They are powered by electricity with batteries; some require a separate charger cabinet while others can just be plugged into a 13amp socket and charged from there.
What does the pallet truck training
course cover?
All our PPT training courses contain theory lessons in a classroom and practical work using the Pedestrian/rider powered pallet truck. These courses follow the Health and Safety commission’s Approved Code of Practice and guidance. Meaning you, as an employer, meet your legal obligations to make sure all PPT operators receive adequate training.
We understand that everyone prefers a different learning style. Therefore, our courses use a variety of techniques to suit all learners. We use forklift models, videos, powerpoints, worksheets and handouts to keep everyone interested. Each lesson is then finished with some questions to ensure all information is understood.
The theory work builds gradually allowing time to absorb the information, before moving to the next stage. Practical lessons are demonstrated, then trainees are given adequate time to practise under close supervision.
Each course culminates with three stages of testing:
- A theory test – consisting of 25 questions
- Pre-use inspection test
- Practical skills test involving various manoeuvres completed in a safe manner
On completion of the pallet truck training course, the trainee will be able to:
Name all the main components of the truck
Carry out a Pre-shift inspection check & know when and how to report
Operate the Truck within the safety limits defined by the manufacturer
Stack & De-stack from various various loads safely
Manoeuvre with and without load in a narrow confined area
