LGV Shunting

This course is designed to instruct candidates in the correct and safe methods of driving LGV vehicles in shunting manoeuvres / operations within a companies operating environment. This course caters for novice and experienced operators and will include the banksman operations. With the shortage and cost implications of using road qualified drivers, many companies now employ non LGV holders to undertake shunting operations within their own site. This course will ensure these operators can safely undertake these tasks, reducing costs, damage and down time.
