Bendi Forklift Training Course

A Bendi truck, commonly known as a Flexi truck, is used to carry out similar tasks as counterbalance or reach trucks. However, its advantage lies in the machines unique design, which allows the truck to stack and de-stack pallets in narrow aisles, as well as operating in yards unloading lorries. 

Flexi Bendi trucks are great for beginner operators who may find it easier to learn the fewer controls, compared to more complicated trucks.

During the Flexi Bendi forklift training courses, RMC Forklift Training covers all the legislations relevant to narrow-aisle, pivot steer truck operating. 

(Maximum of 3 trainees per course.)

  • Hazard Awareness
  • Moving/stopping and steering the truck

LLOP Truck Training (Low Level Order Picker) and Powered Pallet Truck (PPT Training)

LLOP Truck Training (Low Level Order Picker) and
Powered Pallet Truck (PPT Training)

The LLOP Truck or Powered Pallet Truck (often referred to as PPT) is a well-known basic warehouse truck, and most organisations use this kind of MHE machinery. These vehicles play an important part in providing low cost pallet movement, designed to handle goods at ground level. PPT/ LLOP Trucks assist in marshalling pallets, assembling orders, loading and unloading vehicles and a host of other important tasks.

A PPT/LLOP Trucks is one of the simplest lift trucks available out there and very easy to operate. The same principles as a hand pump truck are applied to PPT when operating it, the only difference is when the forks enter the pallet it can be electrically lifted off the ground. The main advantage is that it helps with manual handling and prevent injuries. PPT/ LLOP trucks are best suited when they are driven indoors with smooth ground condition.

Despite its seemingly simple and effective handling, the proper training is vital to operating powered pallet trucks, due to there being are much higher risk with lower limb injuries.

A Low Level Order Picker (often shortened to LLOP) is driven as a rider operated pallet truck but the operator is lifted in the cab to access low level racking for order picking.

All courses are conducted by qualified and highly skilled instructors who are registered with RTITB/ AITT.
