FORKLIFT
Safe operation of forklifts is crucial for smooth workflows and preventing accidents in day-to-day operations. Through our hands-on training courses, we equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to operate industrial trucks safely, responsibly, and efficiently.
Whether it’s the two-day training course for operators or the annual refresher training—our courses combine a solid theoretical foundation with practical content. The focus is on applicable safety regulations, the proper handling of forklifts, recognizing potential hazards, and safely carrying out daily work procedures.
While the training for forklift operators lays the foundation for the safe operation of forklifts, the annual refresher training serves to refresh existing knowledge, strengthen safety awareness, and provide information on current requirements.
Operating industrial trucks, such as forklifts, requires safe and proper handling of the equipment. The employers’ liability insurance association stipulates that only trained individuals are permitted to operate industrial trucks. Employees must have completed the required training and passed the corresponding exam. In our training course, you’ll gain relevant technical knowledge in both theory and practice.
Once you have completed the training and passed the exam, you will meet the legal requirements and be fully prepared to operate forklifts safely.

This training specifically covers all industrial trucks classified under DGUV Guideline 308-001. These include, for example, front-loading forklifts, trucks, tow tractors, reach trucks, four-way forklifts, three-way forklifts, container handlers, and reach stackers. All-terrain telescopic forklifts are exempt from this regulation, as they are subject to DGUV Guideline 308-009.
