Find out more about our Pivot Steer Forklift Training Course here. 

Since acquiring our own Flexi Forklift, we have been able to carry out specialist forklift training at our training facility in Barton Hill Trading Estate, Bristol. If you choose to come to our training facility, you will be paired with one of our highly qualified Bendi Forklift instructors, who will guide you on this training course. 

As of August 2022, we have also acquired a brand new Bendi Truck, which means we can now offer training for a wider range of pivot steer forklifts.

 

What is a Pivot Steer Forklift Truck?

Pivot steer forklifts, also known as Articulated Very Narrow Aisle Counterbalance Trucks or Bendi Trucks, are designed for narrow aisles that are more difficult to traverse than traditional forklifts. If the layout of your facility means you have narrower aisles, look no further than a Bendi forklift, as they can navigate aisles as narrow as 7 feet. 

 

Benefits of a Pivot Steer Forklift 

Bendi forklifts allow you to use smaller spaces and save money, as you will not have to extend your premises or move location if your business is growing. By installing narrow aisles, you can maximise your storage capacity by increasing the number of racks and shelves in your warehouse or facility. 

You can also experience improved manoeuvrability with the Bendi Flexi Forklift’s articulated design and enhanced turning radius. These features allow it to turn in tight spaces and navigate around obstacles, leading to enhanced productivity with faster loading times.

Our Pivot Steer Forklift Training Courses

We offer a range of bendi forklift training courses for all skill sets. From complete beginners to refresher courses, we have a course for you. Here’s a short breakdown of each course and the skill level we would expect of trainees enrolling in each.

• 1-Day Pivot Steer Forklift Refresher: Course candidates will have previously received adequate basic training and have the appropriate documentation to proceed with the training course.

• 2-Day Pivot Steer Forklift Conversion: Perspective trainees will have previously received adequate basic training on a similar type of industrial truck, so they will require a conversion to pivot steer trucks.

• 3-Day Pivot Steer Forklift Operator: Course candidates will have some previous experience in operating Pivot Steer or Bendi forklifts, but they may not be able to provide documentary evidence of such training.

• 5-Day Pivot Steer Forklift Novice: Course trainees will have NO previous experience operating such trucks and will be completely new to any sort of forklift training.
