Mobile workplace training · Weekdays and weekends
ALLMI, reach stacker and forklift training in Southampton, delivered at suitable employer sites.
Southampton's container-port setting makes the exact machine and terminal access particularly useful booking details. Give us the working site and entrance, rather than only the port or company name.

ALLMI Lorry Loader and Slinger/Signaller training in Southampton
For a haulage or supply yard, distinguish the vehicle-mounted loader operator from people preparing and signalling the lift. Include the accessories, attachments and typical load shapes used by the team.
Our ALLMI training courses include Lorry Loader Operator and Slinger/Signaller. HIAB is a manufacturer name often used when searching for lorry-loader training. The course route is agreed from the candidate’s experience and the work required.
Successful ALLMI candidates receive the relevant ALLMI certificate and operator card carrying the CSCS logo. Driver CPC can be available with eligible ALLMI training, subject to the driver, approved course and recording requirements. Arrange this at booking; an extra charge applies per person, per day.
Reach stacker and container-handler training in Southampton
Tell us whether operators handle loaded containers with a G4 reach stacker or empty containers with a G2 handler. Include the machine model, spreader, normal stacking work and candidate experience.
See the G4 reach stacker and G2 empty-container-handler course information. Novice, experienced, refresher or conversion needs are assessed from the operator’s background and equipment. Training uses suitable employer equipment, representative loads and an agreed practical area.
Forklift training in Southampton – counterbalance, reach and refresher courses
Arrange on-site forklift training at your Southampton workplace, using suitable equipment and a controlled practical area.
A port-related warehouse may also use counterbalance trucks, reach trucks or tow tractors. List those as separate requirements so the training scope does not assume that container-handling experience covers them.
Choose counterbalance forklift training, reach truck training or VNA forklift training. Previously trained operators can discuss forklift refresher training in Southampton. See the forklift and MHE course directory for other equipment.
Tell us each operator’s previous training and experience so we can confirm the novice, experienced-operator, refresher or conversion route. These are in-house MHE courses; the quotation confirms the equipment, duration and certificate arrangements before booking.
Forklift training in Southampton can cover B-category counterbalance, D-category reach truck and F-category VNA operators, with forklift refresher training in Southampton or conversion training where previous experience supports the route. We can also discuss sideloader and multidirectional truck training, T1 vehicle-mounted lift truck training, pallet truck/stacker and order-picker training where suitable workplace equipment is available. There is no separate “forklift licence”; successful operator training is recorded by certificate for the relevant truck category.
Forklift training for Southampton manufacturing, transport and storage workplaces
Southampton is more than a port-only market. The city has a strong manufacturing base and a high concentration of transport and storage activity, so local employers can need very different types of forklift and MHE training depending on whether the job is container handling, warehouse storage, production, loading, delivery or internal movement.
For dockside and container operations, the correct course may be G-category reach stacker or container-handler training. Manufacturing and distribution sites are more likely to need B-category counterbalance forklift training, D-category reach truck training, F-category VNA, A-category pallet trucks and stackers, or E-category order pickers. We keep those machine types separate so experience on a reach stacker is not treated as competence on a warehouse reach truck or counterbalance forklift.
Southampton delivery fleets can also add T1 vehicle-mounted lift truck training, while busy yards can use S2 vehicle/MHE banksman training and H-category tow tractor training where those machines form part of the operation. Send the working postcode and machine list and we can build one site-specific training plan around the equipment actually in use.
Planning training at your Southampton site
The Port of Southampton handles container traffic alongside other cargo operations.
We can discuss suitable workplaces in Southampton and nearby Hampshire port and distribution workplaces. Confirm the working postcode and the equipment available at that location.
- Confirm security clearance, visitor induction and the correct terminal or depot gate.
- Reserve suitable containers and working space without relying on a live loading operation becoming quiet.
- Name the person who can keep the machine available and coordinate with yard traffic.
Provide a suitable theory space as well as the practical area. Training dates and the course duration are confirmed once the machine, candidate numbers and experience are understood.
Can you deliver within a controlled-access Southampton site?
We can discuss delivery where the employer arranges access, suitable equipment and a controlled practical area. Confirm the access process before agreeing the training date.
