The following require Individual Training & Certification:
-
- Reach Lift Truck
- Side Loading Lift Truck

- MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform)

A common misconception is that once you have a Forklift Certificate it covers all types of lifting machinery. This is not the case.
In fact, The Health & Safety Authority’s Rider Operated Lift Trucks Code of Practice states that even if you add an attachment to a lift truck, additional training is required or even if the operator moves from a small forklift to a bigger (greater lifting capacity) truck, then additional training is required.
