Did you know that the heaviest weight ever lifted by fork lift truck was…

…90 tonnes! It was in 1989 and the record set then has not been broken since!

Another fascinating fork lift fact is that they have something in common with spiders…both spider legs and fork lifts operate by hydraulic pressure!

Anyway, we digress. We didn’t learn these facts on fork lift truck refresher training, but the EPC team did just complete theirs.

It was carried out by our friends at Neil Robinson Industrial Training, who are an independent ITSSAR accredited training instructor.

This ensures that all our drivers are competent and able to demonstrate safe operator driving practices. We require the team to complete this refresher training and evaluation day every 3 years.

Thanks to everyone who took part.
