Frequently Asked Questions

Operators must have appropriate training and certification, typically a CPCS (Construction Plant Competence Scheme) card, IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) license, or equivalent qualification for telehandler operation. The specific license category depends on the telehandler type and attachments used. We can provide information on training courses if your operators need certification. All operators should also be familiar with the specific model being used and complete a familiarization session before operation.
