Powered Pallet Truck (PPT) Training

Course Overview

Our Powered Pallet Truck (PPT) Training course teaches operators how to safely use electric pallet trucks in warehouses, retail stores, distribution centres, and logistics operations.

PPT machines may be simple to operate, but incorrect use can cause serious injuries — which is why this course focuses heavily on safe handling, stability, manoeuvring, and workplace best practice.
