Weekly Forklift Training Updates: A Night Shift Training Handover

This week’s forklift training updates from 4KS include a great example of night shift forklift training in action, alongside a busy programme of Counterbalance, Reach Truck and PPT training across Birmingham, Peterborough, and onsite for clients in Leeds, Birmingham and Aston.

Birmingham ran a full and varied programme this week, including:

Onsite Training Across the UK

Our onsite instructors supported clients in three locations this week:

Leeds: Powered Pallet Truck Experienced training for a client, delivered by two instructors across the week
Birmingham: VNA conversion training for a client in Birmingham
Aston: Powered Pallet Truck training for our food wholesaler client
Birmingham: Counterbalance Experienced training for our medical healthcare distributor client, delivered as a night shift session

Peterborough Training Centre

Peterborough delivered Counterbalance Novice training across the week.

Weekly Highlight: Night Shift Forklift Training, A Seamless Handover

One of our onsite Counterbalance Experienced courses this week ran as a night shift forklift training session for our medical healthcare distributor client — started by one instructor and completed by another, without missing a beat.

It’s a good example of how 4KS builds onsite training around a business’s own operating hours, rather than asking candidates to fit around ours. Night shift forklift training brings its own logistics, and this handover between instructors shows the coordination that goes into keeping a course consistent even when more than one instructor is involved.

Looking for Flexible or Onsite Forklift Training?

Whether your team works day shifts, night shifts, or something in between, we can build RTITB accredited training around your operating hours, onsite at your premises, or at our Birmingham and Peterborough centres.
