ALLMI, HIAB and forklift training in Southampton and Hampshire
Hampshire employers can arrange ALLMI lorry loader and HIAB training in Southampton and at suitable sites elsewhere in the county. The ALLMI Lorry Loader Operator course remains the priority lifting route, supported by Slinger / Signaller training where staff attach or direct loads.
For forklift training in Hampshire, on-site courses can include counterbalance, reach and other warehouse MHE categories. Experienced and refresher operators should have their previous experience confirmed before the correct course route is booked.
Training shaped around Hampshire workplaces
Hampshire has a particularly varied mix of operating environments. Around Southampton and Portsmouth there are busy port, marine, transport and construction activities, while Basingstoke, Andover, Eastleigh and the north of the county include distribution, manufacturing and commercial sites with different traffic and equipment pressures. Rather than treating every workplace the same, the training setup is agreed around the machine, attachments, loads, candidate experience and space available at the customer’s own site.
That local planning matters where practical training has to take place alongside normal operations. A depot with constant vehicle movements may need a clearly segregated training zone; a manufacturing site may need a machine released from production for the full course; and a lorry-loader course may require suitable loads, lifting accessories and enough room to complete practical exercises safely.
Training options available in Hampshire
| 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 |

Hampshire bookings can include ALLMI Lorry Loader and Slinger/Signaller training as well as a broad range of workplace MHE categories. Depending on the equipment used on site, this can include counterbalance and reach trucks, VNA equipment, order pickers, pallet trucks and stackers, overhead cranes, scissor lifts, telescopic handlers, container-handling equipment and other suitable categories.
Course routes are matched to the operators being trained. Novice candidates, experienced operators and people due a refresher should be identified before the booking is confirmed because the required training route, practical time and assessment arrangements can differ.

Booking around Hampshire operations
For sites working rotating shifts, busy loading windows or weekend operations, both weekday and weekend training dates can be considered. The easiest way to plan is to check our current availability first and select all dates that could work for your site. That gives more flexibility when travel, site access and machine availability have to line up.

What to send when requesting a Hampshire course
To avoid unnecessary back-and-forth, include the full site postcode, equipment type, attachments, number of candidates, each candidate’s experience level and the dates that suit the operation. For lorry loaders or other lifting equipment, it also helps to describe the type of loads normally handled and any access restrictions affecting the practical area.
Preparing a Hampshire site for practical training
- Reserve the actual truck, crane or machine being used for the duration of the course.
- Choose a practical area that can be separated from normal vehicle and pedestrian movements.
- Check that the equipment is serviceable and that required attachments are available.
- Have realistic loads or materials ready so exercises relate to the work candidates actually perform.
- Advise of gate procedures, restricted access, induction requirements or unusual site rules before the training date.
Coverage around Hampshire
Training enquiries are welcome from workplaces throughout the county, including the Southampton and Portsmouth areas, the M27 corridor, central Hampshire around Winchester, and businesses around Basingstoke, Andover and Farnborough.

Hampshire training questions
Can you train staff on the equipment we already use?
Yes, provided the machine is suitable, serviceable and available with an appropriate training area. Using workplace equipment helps candidates relate the training to the controls, attachments and operating environment they will actually encounter.
Can a Hampshire course be arranged at the weekend?
Yes. Weekend dates are available subject to the live diary and travel arrangements. Check availability before choosing dates.
What if our depot stays operational during training?
That can often be accommodated, but the practical area must remain safe and sufficiently segregated. Let us know about traffic peaks, loading windows or restricted access before the course so the training plan can reflect them.
