Our Services
LiftEdge provides operator training, competence assessments, and workplace reviews — all built around real‑world performance and the specific demands of your environment.
Training is delivered on your site, using your equipment, ensuring every session reflects the loads, layouts, and pressures your operators face daily. Assessments provide a clear, structured picture of operator capability and help target training where it has the greatest impact.
We avoid generic, one‑size‑fits‑all courses. Instead, we focus on practical, relevant development that strengthens competence, reduces risk, and supports safer, more efficient operations.
Operator Assessments
Trainability Assessments
Completed before an operator begins basic training. These assessments confirm whether an individual has the awareness, coordination, and capability to progress safely and successfully.
Proactive Competence Assessments (every 2–5 years)
Structured evaluations that help businesses maintain safe standards, meet workplace expectations, and identify development needs early — before issues become incidents.
Reassessments After an Incident or Long‑Term Absence
Focused assessments that determine whether an operator remains safe, confident, and competent before returning to full duties. Clear, fair, and grounded in real‑world expectations.
These assessments give employers a reliable picture of operator performance and help maintain a strong safety culture across the workplace.
Forklifts & Warehouse Equipment
Training and assessments for the full range of warehouse and industrial trucks, including:
• Counterbalance Forklifts — diesel, LPG, and electric
• Reach Trucks — standard and extended‑reach
• Order Pickers — low‑level and medium‑level
• Electric Pallet Trucks — pedestrian, ride‑on, and PPTs
• Stackers & Powered Pallet Stackers
• Articulated / Flexi Trucks (optional inclusion)
These courses focus on safe operation, load handling, visibility, stability, and working confidently in busy warehouse environments.
Plant & Industrial Equipment
Training for plant used across construction, engineering, and industrial settings:
• Telehandlers
• Rough Terrain Forklifts
• Industrial Lift Trucks
• Specialist attachments (clamps, booms, jibs, forks, cages)
Sessions are tailored to your site layout, load types, and operational pressures, ensuring operators understand the risks and requirements of your environment.
Container‑Handling Equipment
Specialist training and competence development for equipment used in logistics yards, depots, and container‑handling operations:
• Reachstackers
• Empty Container Handlers
• Container Handling Lift Trucks
• Heavy Plant Variants across multiple capacities and configurations
Training covers safe lifting, stacking, travel, load stability, mast control, and decision‑making under real‑world pressures.
Our Training Approach
LiftEdge delivers training that is practical, relevant, and focused on improving real‑world performance. While many sessions begin with a practical assessment to understand current ability and workplace risks, training can also be delivered independently when the requirement is already clear.
The aim is simple: strengthen competence, not repeat classroom theory.
A Practical, Assessment‑Led Method (When Needed)
Skill fade, workplace pressure, and unsafe habits all affect day‑to‑day performance. When an assessment is appropriate, it allows us to:
• Identify the exact areas where improvement is needed
• Avoid unnecessary or generic training
• Tailor training to the operator’s real tasks
• Use training time efficiently
• Provide clear, evidence‑based recommendations
This ensures training is justified, targeted, and effective.
Training Delivered When You Need It
LiftEdge also provides training without a preceding assessment when the requirement is already known — for example:
• New equipment being introduced
• Operators needing conversion or familiarisation
• Businesses requesting refresher or corrective training
• Sites with established internal assessment processes
In these cases, training is delivered directly, with the same practical, real‑world focus.
How Training Is Delivered
Training is carried out on‑site, using your equipment and your working environment. Sessions are practical, hands‑on, and focused on the tasks operators perform every day. Training is delivered at a suitable pace, aligned with your site rules, and designed to build confidence and safe habits that last.
Focused on Real Improvement
Every session ends with clear feedback for both the operator and management, including:
• Strengths and areas for improvement
• Any remaining risks
• Recommended next steps
• Guidance on maintaining competence
This ensures training leads to measurable improvements in safety and performance.
Training Types Across All Equipment
Basic Training
For new or inexperienced operators. Delivered using your equipment to ensure training meets required standards and reflects your operational reality.
Specific Training
Training tailored to the exact equipment, attachments, loads, and tasks used in your workplace.
Environmental Training
Focused on the unique conditions of your site — layout, traffic flow, gradients, racking, weather exposure, and operational pressures.
Refresher Training
Targeted training for operators who need to strengthen or update their skills. Common reasons include:
• Routine refresher cycles every 3–5 years
• Returning to work after a long absence
• Refresher training following reassessment
Remedial / Corrective Training
Corrective training for operators who show unsafe practices or poor technique. Typically required after:
• Incident investigations
• Poor assessment results
• Management concerns
Conversion Training
Training for operators moving to a different type of truck or equipment, such as:
• Counterbalance to reach truck
• Counterbalance to telehandler
• Introduction of new equipment types
Familiarisation Training
Short, focused sessions to help operators adapt to new equipment or environments, including:
• New forklift models
• New warehouse layouts
• Different attachments or accessories
Workplace Operational Reviews
A broader review of how forklifts and plant are used across your site. This service helps you:
• Identify operational risks
• Highlight unsafe systems of work
• Implement practical improvements
This supports safer, more efficient workplace operations beyond individual operator performance.
