HIAB Training in Lancashire – ALLMI Lorry Loader

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.

Training that reflects Lancashire industry
Lancashire has a broad industrial base that includes manufacturing, aerospace, food production, construction, warehousing and distribution. Those sectors use very different machines and operate in very different environments, so a course at a Preston warehouse should not be planned in exactly the same way as one at a manufacturing site near Blackburn or Burnley.
Before the date is confirmed, we look at the machine category, attachments, candidate background and practical area. The aim is to make the training relevant to the work candidates actually carry out while ensuring there is enough controlled space for practical exercises.
Courses available across Lancashire
| 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 |
Employers can book ALLMI Lorry Loader and Slinger/Signaller training as well as a wide range of MHE categories. Depending on site equipment, this can include counterbalance and reach trucks, VNA equipment, pallet trucks, order pickers, telescopic handlers, overhead cranes, scissor lifts and other suitable workplace machinery.
Candidate experience should be separated clearly into novice, experienced and refresher requirements. This avoids trying to force people with very different backgrounds into a course route that does not suit them.
Lancashire shift and production planning
For manufacturing and food-production sites, releasing a machine from normal use can be one of the biggest booking challenges. Warehouses and distribution operations may have similar problems during busy dispatch or intake periods. If there are quieter windows, weekend options or specific shifts when a training area is easier to control, include that information when requesting dates.
Where the site remains operational, practical work needs a dedicated area away from uncontrolled vehicle or pedestrian movements. The machine should also remain available for the agreed course rather than being taken back into production between exercises.
Preparing the workplace
- Confirm the machine type and any attachments used in normal operations.
- Identify an area that can be segregated from production or yard traffic.
- Check that the equipment is serviceable before the course date.
- Provide suitable loads or materials that allow meaningful practical exercises.
- Advise of PPE, induction, hygiene or access requirements that affect the trainer.
- Send candidate experience levels and shift information before finalising the programme.

Lancashire FAQs
Can training be arranged around rotating shifts?
Yes, where diary availability and the required course duration allow it. Send the shift pattern and realistic machine-availability windows when asking for dates.
Can the course use our own workplace loads?
Representative loads can be useful where they are appropriate for the equipment and exercises. Tell us what candidates normally handle so the practical setup can be discussed.
What if the machine is normally in constant use?
It needs to be released for the training period. Repeatedly returning it to production can prevent candidates completing the practical elements properly.
Do you cover weekend training in Lancashire?
Yes. Weekend dates are available subject to our current diary and can be helpful where weekday operations are difficult to interrupt.
