Reach truck driver vacancies

A reach truck job for cold weather workers

Are you not resistant to cold? No problem! If you take up one of the reach truck driver jobs, you are pretty much guaranteed to work indoors. A reach truck is not built to drive outdoors and on dirt roads, which is why they are mostly used for indoors.

The difference between a forklift and a reach truck

• Forklifts lift up to 4.5 meters, while reach trucks reach up to 12 meters.
• A reach truck has one rear wheel in the middle, which allows for a small turning radius and more efficient maneuvering in narrow aisles.
• With a forklift you sit straight ahead, with a reach truck you sit a quarter turn, which gives a different field of view.
• A reach truck may only operate indoors, while pneumatic tires allow forklifts to be used outdoors and on public roads.

Take reach truck training

Like forklift controls, for a reach truck job, it is recommended that you take reach truck training. This will help you avoid accidents, know the hazards and how to work safely.

If you have successfully completed the training, you will receive an officially recognized certificate that you must carry with you on the job. Your reach truck certificate is just like a driver's license for a car, but proof that you are authorized to drive a reach truck.

UBN works with a specialized training institute where you can take reach truck lessons or refresher lessons. Important to know:

• Length of training depends on your knowledge with driving a reach truck. Maximum time is 2 days.
• The reach truck training includes a theory and a practical part.
• The reach truck certificate is valid for 5 years.
• You may drive a reach truck from age 16 with a reach truck certificate and always under supervision. From 18, you may drive a reach truck independently with a reach truck certificate.

This is a great opportunity and absolutely free! But of course we ask for something in return.

When you sign up for training or education to earn a degree or certificate, there are a number of conditions attached:

• In exchange for free training, you must continue to work for UBN for at least a certain period of time. Otherwise, you have to pay back a portion. This depends on how much you have worked since you completed the training.
• If you fail the test or do not attend the training, you must repay the cost of the training within two months to UBN employment agency.
