RTITB Accredited Reach Truck – Conversion Course

The RTITB Accredited Reach Truck Conversion Course is ideal for certified forklift operators who are already trained on another type of lift truck and need to expand their skills to operate a reach truck safely and efficiently. This targeted course allows experienced operators to gain a new RTITB qualification without repeating a full novice programme.

Practical sessions provide hands-on experience in manoeuvring, stacking, de-stacking, and operating in real-world conditions.

On successful completion of theory and practical assessments, candidates will receive RTITB reach truck accreditation, recognised by employers nationwide and valid for three years.
