Forklift

Operating a forklift properly, safely and efficiently requires expertise. It is all about theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Two important issues that are extensively covered in Doornbos Equipment’s forklift training. We train (future) forklift operators, going beyond “spoon-feeding” basic knowledge.
