Low-Level Order Picker Training (LLOP)
Our LLOP training sessions can be delivered on-site at your business.
Low-level order pickers are used extensively in areas like warehouses, manufacturing plants and retail for loading and unloading at speed. An LLOP truck is probably one of the simplest bits of machinery to operate but it does require some training to use safely in the workplace.
LLOP trucks can be either pedestrian or rider varieties and their role is to provide a cost-effective loading and unloading solution for businesses. Our short training courses are RTITB certified and provide a recognised qualification that is widely accepted as the industry standard across the UK.
