There is always some confusion on the different sections and models in the A category for Power Pallet Trucks and if these trucks require training.
Firstly, under the PUWER98 regulations Section 9 “used only by people who have received adequate information, instruction and training”, you must be trained on any piece of work equipment that you wish to work on, regardless if you have been trained on similar machinery.
This is due to legal reasons regarding the safety of operators as each truck is significantly different depending on their variant.
For example, having a certificate for an A7 pallet stacker will not legally cover you to operate an A2.
Ace Trainers provide training for all types of A category pallet trucks/stackers and can also perform conversion courses from one truck to another, e.g. A1-A7.
A1- Pedestrian Pallet Truck
A2 Rider Pallet Truck
A3 Pedestrian Counterbalance lift trucks
A4 Rider Pallet Stackers
A5 Pedestrian Pallet Stacker
A6 Pedestrian Straddle Truck
A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck
This training must be accredited and provided by a competent instructor, Ace Trainers have qualified instructors in each field
