Forklift Training
WSM forklift training courses are suitable for all levels of expertise, from novices to experienced operators; with refresher and conversion operator training options too. Our training can be delivered on-site at your place of business, or at our Dumfries training centre, just off the A75.

They are specially designed to provide people with the skills and knowledge they require to correctly, safely and legally operate a range of forklift trucks in the workplace. This then ensures you receive the necessary certification you require to do your job.
This training covers a range of different forklifts and licences, namely counterbalance forklift, pedestrian pallet truck, pivot steer, telescopic handler, reach truck, scissor lift, cherry picker and vehicle mounted static vertical & boom.
