At WKL Training Ltd, we provide professional warehouse machinery training to help businesses operate safely, efficiently, and in line with workplace health and safety requirements. Warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing sites, and storage facilities rely on skilled operators to move goods safely, reduce product damage, and keep day-to-day operations running smoothly.
Our training is suitable for new operators, experienced staff needing refresher training, and businesses looking to upskill their workforce across different types of material handling equipment. Whether you need a Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Course, Counterbalance Course, Reach Course, Multi-directional Course, or Side Loader Course, we can help with flexible training tailored to your business needs.
Our Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Course is designed for operators who use VNA trucks in warehouse environments where space is limited and storage capacity needs to be maximised. VNA trucks are commonly used in high-density storage areas, allowing operators to work safely in narrow aisles while accessing racking at height.
The course helps delegates understand how to operate VNA equipment safely, accurately, and efficiently. It is ideal for businesses that want to make better use of warehouse space while ensuring operators are trained to handle specialist machinery with care and confidence.
During the Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Course, delegates will learn:
By completing a Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Course, operators can improve accuracy, reduce the risk of damage to stock and racking, and help businesses maintain safer, more productive warehouse operations.
Our Counterbalance Course is suitable for anyone who operates or is required to operate a counterbalance forklift truck. Counterbalance forklifts are one of the most commonly used types of forklift, found across warehouses, yards, factories, distribution centres, and industrial sites.
The course provides delegates with the knowledge and practical skills needed to operate a counterbalance forklift safely and effectively. Training covers the key responsibilities of the operator, safe load handling, manoeuvring, and working around people, vehicles, and workplace hazards.
During the Counterbalance Course, delegates will learn:
By completing a Counterbalance Course, operators gain the confidence to move goods safely and efficiently, helping businesses reduce accidents, improve productivity, and protect stock, equipment, and employees.
Our Reach Course is designed for operators who use reach trucks within warehouse and storage environments. Reach trucks are commonly used for placing and retrieving loads from racking systems, particularly where higher lift heights and efficient aisle use are required.
This course gives delegates the skills needed to operate reach trucks safely while handling loads at height. It is particularly useful for warehouses, logistics businesses, and distribution centres where accurate stacking and careful movement of goods are essential.
During the Reach Course, delegates will learn:
By completing a Reach Course, operators can work more safely and confidently when handling goods at height, helping to improve warehouse efficiency and reduce the risk of incidents involving stock, racking, and machinery.
Our Multi-directional Course is designed for operators who use multi-directional forklifts to move long, awkward, or oversized loads. These machines are particularly useful in environments where materials such as timber, steel, pipes, panels, or other lengthy products need to be transported through tight spaces.
Multi-directional trucks can move forwards, backwards, and sideways, making them highly effective for specialist handling tasks. Proper training ensures operators understand the unique controls, movement patterns, and safety considerations involved with this type of equipment.
During the Multi-directional Course, delegates will learn:
By completing a Multi-directional Course, operators can safely manage challenging loads, reduce product damage, and support smoother movement of materials across warehouse, yard, and production environments.
Our Side Loader Course is suitable for operators who use side loader forklifts to transport long or bulky materials. Side loaders are commonly used in timber yards, steel stockholders, manufacturing sites, construction supply businesses, and warehouses where long loads need to be moved safely.
Unlike standard forklifts, side loaders carry loads along the side of the machine, making them ideal for travelling through narrow spaces while transporting lengthy materials. The course helps operators understand how to control, position, and move loads safely in real working environments.
During the Side Loader Course, delegates will learn:
By completing a Side Loader Course, operators can improve safety when handling long materials, reduce damage to stock and equipment, and help businesses maintain efficient and compliant operations.
