Our telehandler training courses are designed for operators working with telescopic forklifts and variable reach equipment in agricultural, construction and industrial environments.

Whether your learning to operate a telehandler for the first time or need to update your existing skills, our experienced instructors can help you find the appropriate training for your equipment and experience level.
As it's name suggests, these machines have a telescopic boom allowing them to reach areas other machines just don't have the ability to reach.
