Telehandler tickets in Kent

Kent is home turf. Our own training centre is at Crab Tree Close in Meopham, and our instructors deliver on sites right across the county, from housing developments and groundworks to farms, orchards and estates.

Telehandlers work hard on Kent farms as well as building sites, so we cover both: stacking and placing loads on site, and bale and pallet handling in the yard.

Novice 5 days, or a 1 day experienced worker test if you already operate the machine.

Or on your site in Kent

Our instructor comes to you and trains your team on your own machines, around your programme. Ideal if your team can't travel.

Very good fork lift training provided by Pole Position. I feel confident enough by the end of the week to go back to work and start driving straight away. I would highly recommend.

Recently, our fitting team attended Platform/Tower training organised by Pole Position Training. From the initial enquiry, the process was smooth and easy. The details of the course were sent through with plenty of notice and instructions for the day clear and concise. We will definitely be using them again for any training needs we have.
