The training is based on DGUV Grundsatz 308-009. We offer the qualification to operate a telehandler in accordance with DGUV-G 308-009. The general qualification for fixed telehandlers is carried out in accordance with DIN EN 1459-1. Basic training for fixed telehandlers for newcomers lasts 2 days. Experienced telehandler operators (holders of the basic training) need only one training day if they can demonstrate at least one year of proven practical experience. Additional qualifications for telehandlers with a rotating superstructure or with a work basket – only after basic training has been completed – can also be offered by us.

Extract of the contents:

• Legal fundamentals
• Design and function of telehandlers
• Handling loads
• Selecting and changing attachments
• Load centre-of-gravity diagram, weight distribution
• Changing work equipment
• Operation with load, forks, bucket (hook and load winch, level 2a)
• Driving along predefined, marked routes with obstacles

You will receive the theoretical training in our own training rooms from our specialist staff and external specialised lecturers.

The training usually lasts one day. For comprehensive complete training courses, e.g. for telehandlers, it can take 3–5 days depending on prior knowledge until the necessary knowledge can be imparted. Bear in mind that telehandlers are real all-rounders, i.e. they are a forklift, construction machine, crane and mobile elevating work platform in one. For very large groups we can also offer in-house training on request, although it is more advantageous to use our modern and extensive fleet on site. The training courses in the areas of aerial work platforms, forklifts, telehandlers & cranes conclude with a theoretical and practical examination. Afterwards, your employees receive the relevant training documents, certificates and operator licences.
