The ITSSAR-accredited Reach Truck Training course delivered by SID Training is designed to equip operators with the essential skills, knowledge, and confidence required to safely operate reach trucks in warehouse and storage environments. Reach trucks are widely used in narrow aisle settings and high racking systems, making precision handling and operator awareness essential. This course ensures that delegates understand how to manoeuvre equipment safely in confined spaces while maintaining full control of loads at height. Training includes both theoretical and practical elements, giving operators a clear understanding of safe working practices, legal responsibilities, and efficient load handling techniques. Particular emphasis is placed on working in restricted areas, accurate load placement, and maintaining stability when lifting at height. Operators will also learn how to carry out pre-use inspections, identify potential faults, and understand the key principles of truck stability and load security. This helps reduce the risk of accidents, damage to goods, and workplace incidents.
Upon successful completion, delegates will receive an ITSSAR-accredited Certificate of Training, recognised across the UK and within the warehousing and logistics industry.

All candidates will complete both a theoretical test and a practical skills assessment at the end of the course. Upon successful completion, delegates will receive an ITSSAR-accredited Certificate of Training, recognised across the UK and widely accepted within industry.

Our goal is to ensure every operator leaves fully competent, confident, and ready to work safely.
