IS-003 - Working with a rigid telehandler

Get your IS-003 rigid telehandler diploma now!

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS IS-003 RIGID TELEHANDLER TRAINING?

For the IS-003 rigid telehandler diploma, you've come to the right place at Normec Praxis!

There are various types of telehandlers, which can also perform different functions.

On a “rigid telehandler”, the cab and telescopic arm are fixed to the undercarriageverbonden.

Practically all telehandlers are equipped with front-wheel steering, four-wheel steering and crab steering.

Telehandlers can be equipped without, with 2 or with 4 outriggers, which significantly affects the stability and lifting capacity and for which an adapted load chart must be used.

The IS diplomas are essential in the petrochemical industry and port companies.

The training can take place at your premises or in one of our partner centres in Flanders.

The number of training days depends on your experience and competencies.

If you pass, you receive the official IS-003 diploma!

If your sector or client does not require this specific diploma, then follow our standard telehandler training or telehandler competency test.

The aim of this training is to work effectively and safely with the telehandler ..
