AITT-accredited telehandler training for UK businesses
The telehandler (telescopic handler) is the go-anywhere lifting machine of construction sites, farms and outdoor yards. Its telescopic boom lifts loads to height and places them at reach — over obstacles, onto scaffolds or across rough terrain — making it one of the most versatile and most safety-critical machines an operator can drive.
Wherever you are in the UK, MHE Train & Test brings telehandler 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, Teletruk training, overhead crane 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 a telehandler — and who needs training?
A telehandler combines a rough-terrain chassis with a telescopic boom, so it can travel over uneven ground and place loads at both height and forward reach. Fitted with forks, buckets or lifting attachments, it moves seamlessly between materials handling and site work — but boom geometry, load charts and stability limits make proper training essential.
Under HSE L117 and PUWER, telehandler operators must be adequately trained, with evidence the employer can produce. Our AITT-accredited telehandler courses cover novice, experienced, conversion and refresher routes — delivered on your own machine, on your own site, anywhere in the UK.
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.
