First-level maintenance of forklift trucks
One day for operators and team leaders to check and maintain by themselves what can be done on a forklift truck, and to spot in time what must be handed over to maintenance. Forks, chains, mast, hydraulics, tyres, brakes, batteries and energy, the maintenance log and taking out of service are practised on your own trucks, with a check list adapted to your fleet.

Frequently asked questions
Will the operators repair the trucks?
No. They learn to check, clean, maintain the battery and spot a defect. Any repair remains with maintenance or the hire company, depending on your contract.
Our trucks are hired: is the course useful?
Yes. The hire company maintains the truck, but defects appear between its visits. An operator who knows how to report early avoids long stoppages and accidents, and makes dialogue with the hire company easier.
Does the course cover lithium batteries?
Yes, if your fleet includes them. Their maintenance is simpler than for lead batteries, but they have their own charging and storage instructions, given by the manufacturer.
