General Information

This course is for operators of specialised load shifting equipment such as EWP’S, Turret LO forklifts, Hubtex sideloader forklifts. The EDD is used to escape at height if the equipment breaks down whilst placing loads at height or gets caught up in either building or high storage structure. EWP’S can get caught up in trees or powerlines and open structures.

Client will need to supply truck mounted EWP

Safelift Consultancy can conduct onsite training and assessments for your staff. We believe that it is a more beneficial way to train people because knowledge of your site and equipment helps maintain a more relaxed training environment.
