"Hello David, Thanks very much for your help today. Without your assistance we would really have struggled and I doubt we would have managed to install the equipment. Your staff were very accommodating and helpful and professional. Thanks again, I'll be in touch tomorrow to arrange for your services again to load the crate at the end of the week. kind regards"

Driver Training
Under the health and safety act, you must train all operators of machinery in their safe use. Forklift drivers must hold a certificate of training. Training is normally carried out on site by a visiting instructor examiner.
We can arrange this training, which is normally valid for 3 to 5 years. There is a code of practice available from your local health and safety executive.
Although you can carry out this training yourself, it is wise to use an outside body as in the event of an accident the source of the training may be sought. Your insurance company may also give you information about their requirements for operators.
Please be very careful that you meet all the regulations. If an untrained driver has an accident then he can claim against you.
You are responsible for the safe operation of the machine at all times.
Make sure you have adequate insurance

Forklift Definition
Forklifts are mainly called forklifts in the UK but seem to be called fork trucks in the USA and abroad. Whatever they are called they are machines with forks that lift loads.
Which is safer ?
Is a four wheel forklift more stable and safer than a three wheel forklift? They are both the same as they both behave in terms of stability based on the Stability triangle.
