Forklift training in Melton Mowbray
On-site forklift training for businesses in Melton Mowbray and the Melton area (LE13, LE14).
Melton Mowbray is the rural capital of food, and the pork pie bakeries, cheese dairies, pet food plants and food distributors that cluster around the town run forklifts around the clock. We train on the Snow Hill, Leicester Road and Saxby Road industrial estates, at the Melton Business Park and Pera Business Park, and on the farms, grain stores and agricultural suppliers of the Vale of Belvoir. Food-grade sites have strict hygiene rules and our instructors are used to working within them.
Local customers typically work in food and drink manufacturing, pet food, agriculture and agricultural supply, distribution, engineering. Whatever the sector, the format is the same: an accredited Forklift Agency instructor comes to your premises in Melton Mowbray, trains your operators on your own trucks, tests them, and we post HSE-recognised certificates. Courses run around your shift pattern, days, nights or weekends, at the same price.

Common questions
Do you train individuals who want a forklift licence?
No. Forklift Agency trains businesses only, on site at premises where forklift trucks are available. If you are an individual in Leicester looking for a course, our Forklift Training Centres website lists centres by region, or search for "forklift training centres" on Yell.
Where does the training happen?
At your premises, on your trucks, in the environment your operators actually work in. We do not run a training centre in Leicester or anywhere else. The instructor brings everything else: the safety videos on a laptop or tablet, theory material, cones, test papers and the certificates.
Which accrediting bodies do you work with?
Our instructors are registered with RTITB, AITT or ITSSAR, the accrediting bodies whose certificates are recognised by the Health and Safety Executive under the Approved Code of Practice L117. Every instructor has been vetted by us, holds their own public liability insurance and has worked with Forklift Agency for years.
How long does a forklift course take?
A novice counterbalance course for three candidates takes three days. Reach trucks, VNA, telehandlers and articulated trucks take longer. Refresher and conversion courses are normally one day, and powered pallet truck courses can be half a day. We confirm the duration in the quote.
