VNA Lift Truck Training

Building Skills, Ensuring Safety
Our ITSSAR accredited Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Lift Truck Operator Course provides operators with the skills to use VNA trucks safely and efficiently. Delegates will learn how to conduct pre-use inspections, recognize the causes of truck and load instability, and operate within narrow aisle environments. The course covers both man-up and man-down categories — completing the man-up course qualifies operators to use both machine types.
Training combines classroom learning and practical instruction, ensuring operators gain the knowledge and confidence to maneuver safely in restricted spaces. Key topics include truck introduction, narrow aisle driving under automatic guidance, hydraulic operations, battery care, load handling, man-up loading, and managing awkward loads.
