To keep pace with the growing number of lift truck operators undertaking the broad range of articulated forklift training courses that it offers, Flexi Training Ltd (a division of Narrow Aisle Ltd) has announced that its training facility has more than doubled in size.

The expansion, which has increased the site’s classroom areas and car parking space as well as the main racked training hall, means that more operators than ever will be able to receive Flexi’s bespoke training.

“If operational throughput and safety targets are to be met, it is vitally important that lift truck drivers receive regular training,” says John Maguire, commercial director of Narrow Aisle Ltd.

“Training is a key consideration within any materials handling operation and I am delighted to say that our training courses take place at one of the finest lift truck operator training facilities in the UK.”

Flexi’s articulated truck driver training courses all exceed the Accrediting Bodies Association’s approved standards and are designed to give new forklift and Flexi operators the confidence and skills to drive safely and efficiently to ensure that both safety and productivity targets are met.

The expansion will allow Flexi Training to increase the number of training options available, while the introduction of an “Advanced Flexi Skills” course has been designed for high throughput and high lift operators.

The courses combine theoretical and practical skills and incorporate the operator’s safety code operating practices, daily inspection procedures and elementary driving practice.
