Sideloader Training:

 The ITSSAR-accredited Sideloader Forklift Training course delivered by SID Training is provided exclusively on-site at your premises, allowing your team to train using your own equipment in a familiar working environment.

Sideloader forklifts are specifically designed for handling long and bulky loads such as timber, steel, and piping. Their sideways loading capability makes them ideal for narrow aisles and operations where extended materials need to be transported safely and efficiently.

This course combines both theoretical knowledge and practical training to ensure operators understand safe operating procedures, workplace responsibilities, and how to minimise risks when handling long loads.

Particular emphasis is placed on load security, visibility, and maintaining stability when transporting oversized materials. Operators will also learn how to manoeuvre safely in confined spaces and work around pedestrians and other vehicles within the workplace.

Pre-use inspections are covered in detail, ensuring operators can identify faults and carry out essential safety checks before operating the equipment.

Upon successful completion, delegates will receive an ITSSAR-accredited Certificate of Training, recognised across the UK and within industry.

 Throughout the course, delegates will develop a strong understanding of:

• Safe operation of a sideloader forklift 
• Operator responsibilities and workplace safety awareness 
• Daily pre-use inspections and fault reporting procedures 
• Handling long and bulky loads safely 
• Load stability and weight distribution principles 
• Safe manoeuvring in narrow aisles and confined spaces 
• Working safely around pedestrians and other vehicles 
• Loading and unloading procedures for long materials 
• End-of-shift procedures and safe shutdown of equipment

 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.
