Order Picker Forklifts

Often separated into low level, medium level and high level categories, order pickers can work at various heights, with courses available in the operation of each one. However, by completing the ‘high’ category of order picker operation, candidates will be authorised to operate the ‘low’ and ‘medium’ versions, too. Completion of the Order Picker Forklift Training course provides candidates with an NPORS certificate.
