AITT-accredited forklift conversion training for UK businesses
Already certificated on one truck type but need another? Conversion training bridges the gap efficiently. Because the operator already understands safe lift-truck principles, a conversion course — typically 1–2 days — focuses purely on what’s different about the new machine, from controls and geometry to load handling and stability behaviour.
Wherever you are in the UK, MHE Train & Test brings forklift conversion training to you. Our fully insured, AITT-accredited instructors and examiners train your team at your premises, on your own machines — always compliant with HSE L117 and PUWER.
Whatever your team size or schedule, we arrange dates that suit you, quote a transparent daily rate with no hidden charges, and respond to every enquiry the same working day.
Alongside this course we provide counterbalance forklift training, reach truck training, telehandler training, Teletruk training and more — each available as novice, experienced, conversion, refresher training. Whether you’re looking for a forklift licence or searching for AITT forklift training, our instructors can help.

What is forklift conversion training?
Common conversions include counterbalance to reach truck (mast reach, high-bay stacking, narrow aisles), counterbalance to telehandler (boom control and load charts), and conversions onto the JCB Teletruk’s forward-reach boom. Each course concentrates on the differences that matter, then tests the operator to the same national standard as a full course.
Under HSE L117, certification is truck-type specific — a counterbalance certificate doesn’t cover a reach truck. Conversion training is the fast, compliant way to add types, delivered on your own machines at your premises with AITT-accredited certification on success.
Is your team legally covered?
If an operator can’t show valid, in-date certification, your business may not be compliant. We’ll help you close that gap quickly with on-site training across the UK.

Our forklift conversion training suits a wide range of UK workplaces, including:
- Counterbalance drivers moving to reach trucks
- Warehouse teams adding telehandler capability
