Scissor Lift Training

Scissor lifts are an essential piece of equipment for safely moving goods in a vertical direction. They allow operators to complete tasks more efficiently and securely, without the need for time-consuming setup required for scaffolding or the inherent instability of ladders.

To ensure safety and compliance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005, it is crucial for operators to receive the appropriate training. Our Scissor Lift Training course equips delegates with the necessary skills to operate scissor lifts safely, while also providing knowledge on the proper use and wearing of safety harnesses to reduce the risk of falls.

Our comprehensive Scissor Lift Training course covers the following key areas:

• Forklift Stability & Limitations of Use: Understanding the safe operational boundaries of the scissor lift.
• Refueling & Recharging: Safe procedures for refueling, recharging batteries, and changing LPG bottles.
• Controls and Instruments: Familiarisation with steering, brakes, and other key controls.
• Safe Use of Hydraulic Controls: Operating hydraulic controls safely and effectively.
• Starting, Moving, and Stopping: Procedures for safe and smooth operation of the lift.
• Basic & Advanced Steering: Techniques for both basic and advanced steering maneuvers.
• Load Weight Assessment: Assessing the weight of loads to ensure safe lifting capacity is not exceeded.
