About this Pedestrian Operated Forklift / Pallet Truck Course

Looking to gain practical skills for low-risk materials handling? This course provides the training required to safely operate pedestrian operated forklifts or pallet trucks, including push-around units, motorised walk-behinds, and motorised rider models.

It’s ideal for workers involved in warehouse, logistics, or retail operations who do not require a High Risk Work Licence.
