A Forklift Truck Driver Training Company Faces The Worst Winter Yet But Still Manages To Carry On

This news story tells of a single problem the fork lift truck driver training business underwent when it came to keeping up sessions with the customers. To explain, generally speaking, individuals and firms are required to reserve his or her places far in advance.

This is not a problem usually but what matters certainly is the climate which can't be controlled. The previous winter months were very severe and the 1st December 2010 had been the lowest ever recorded in Surrey. It brought the M25 to a complete halt along with Heathrow and Gatwick airport were totally closed.

At that moment many organizations up and down the U.K closed down on some of the days due to the severity of the weather conditions but one training firm which didn’t was a forklift truck driver training business called http://www.aftt.co.uk.

They kept going even while they were up against a blizzard and the snow was around their knees.

A.F.T.T realized that numerous businesses would not have been able to open their doors for the Winter gross sales if the employees were not properly trained to use the machines. The ramifications of cancelling a course for some of the customers at that particular period could have meant more than 20 percent loss in their organization given that it tends to be the most profitable period.

Clive Flucker who is the primary forklift truck driver training instructor at http://www.aftt.co.uk claimed that the equipment is made to operate in cold stores and chilled manufacturing facilities where the conditions sometimes may go down as low as -40°.

At the time of the blizzard a new JCB 535 was used for a training course regarding how to operate in restricted spaces together with how you can correctly stack with elevation.

Clive in addition said that the snowfall was a true nightmare because doing the job in the exact same spot constantly meant the surface hardened and converted into sheet-ice. Also stacking was difficult because it was a struggle to see the forks being used to move the merchandise up high.

Needless to say that a great deal of strong tea was drunk on that day and despite the climatic conditions all of the applicants managed to pass the forklift truck driver training program.
