HIAB Training in Berkshire – ALLMI Lorry Loader
Businesses searching for HIAB training in Berkshire can book the accredited ALLMI Lorry Loader Operator course at a suitable workplace. HIAB is a commonly used name for this type of vehicle-mounted loader crane; the accredited course provided by MHE Training UK is ALLMI Lorry Loader training. Where candidates also attach, control or direct loads, ALLMI Slinger / Signaller training can also be arranged. Weekday and weekend dates are available subject to the live diary.
Driver CPC available with eligible ALLMI training: a full 7-hour ALLMI Lorry Loader or Slinger / Signaller training day can count as 7 hours towards Driver CPC, subject to driver eligibility, an approved course and training centre, and correct registration and recording. Arrange this at booking. Extra charges apply per person, per day for the Driver CPC add-on.

Berkshire sites are not all the same
Businesses in Berkshire range from large distribution and logistics operations to manufacturing, facilities, construction and commercial sites. A busy depot near Slough may have restricted yard space and constant vehicle movements, while a site around Newbury or Bracknell may have completely different equipment, access and staffing arrangements. The training plan is therefore built around the actual workplace rather than a generic off-site setup.
Before confirming the date, we need to know what machine will be used, which attachments are fitted, what loads candidates normally handle and how much space is available for practical work. This is particularly important where the same truck is also needed for day-to-day operations.
Available training in Berkshire
| Training need | Course |
|---|---|
| Vehicle-mounted loader crane operator | ALLMI Lorry Loader Operator |
| Attaching, controlling or directing loads | ALLMI Slinger / Signaller |
| Warehouse and yard forklift operations | Counterbalance forklift training |
| Racked warehouse operations | Reach truck training |
Berkshire employers can arrange ALLMI Lorry Loader and Slinger/Signaller training together with a broad range of MHE categories. These can include counterbalance and reach trucks, VNA equipment, order pickers, pallet trucks, pallet stackers, telescopic handlers, overhead cranes, scissor lifts, container-handling equipment and other suitable workplace machines.
The candidate route is agreed from experience, not assumption. A novice requires a different programme from an experienced operator or someone attending a refresher, so candidate backgrounds should be supplied before the booking is finalised.
Planning around busy Berkshire operations
Sites in and around Reading, Slough and the wider M4 corridor often have tightly scheduled goods-in and dispatch activity. If the practical area overlaps with delivery routes, a separate zone needs to be reserved so exercises can be completed without conflicting with normal traffic. Where access is controlled by security, loading appointments or estate rules, send those details in advance.
It also helps to identify when the machine can genuinely be released. A course is difficult to run properly if the training truck is repeatedly taken away for production, loading or urgent deliveries.
What to prepare before the course
- Confirm the exact machine category and any attachments candidates will use.
- Reserve a practical area that can remain controlled while exercises are taking place.
- Check the equipment is serviceable and available for the agreed training period.
- Have realistic loads, pallets or lifting accessories ready where the course requires them.
- Send the full Berkshire postcode, site contact and any visitor or access instructions.
- Provide candidate experience levels so the correct training route can be confirmed.

Berkshire training FAQs
Can you train staff on our own forklift or lifting equipment?
Yes, provided the machine is suitable, serviceable and available with enough space for safe practical exercises. Workplace equipment makes the course directly relevant to the controls and attachments candidates will use afterwards.
Can a weekend course help us avoid weekday disruption?
Yes. Weekend dates are available subject to the diary and can be useful where weekday delivery or production schedules make it difficult to release the machine.
What should we send for a quotation?
Send the site postcode, machine or course required, candidate numbers, experience levels, attachments and several preferred dates. Include access restrictions or unusual site requirements at the same time.
Can novice and refresher operators be grouped together?
Not automatically. Those routes have different requirements, so candidate experience needs to be reviewed before the course is arranged.
