Forklift training in Cork — instructor to your site
Accredited counterbalance, reach truck, pallet truck and refresher courses delivered across Cork city, the harbour and West Cork, on your own equipment.
Forklift courses in Cork
Certify a Cork team without taking anyone off site
Cork's pharma, food and harbour logistics operators run the same problem: certification expires in ones and twos, and sending operators away to an open course costs a day of production on top of the course fee. Our instructors travel to the site instead, train the whole group together on your own trucks, and issue certificates the same day.
AWE has supplied and serviced materials handling equipment in Ireland for over 40 years from our premises in Rathcoole, Dublin, and we cover Cork for training, servicing, statutory Thorough Examination and parts. Irish workplace legislation requires operators to be competent on the specific truck category they use, so tell us what the team drives — counterbalance, reach, stacker or pallet truck — and we will scope the course around it.
Why AWE
On-site training, done properly
We come to you
No travel, no accommodation and no lost day for your operators — the instructor travels to the Cork site instead.
Your own trucks
Operators certify on the machines they will actually drive, in the racking they will actually work in.
Certificate on the day
Successful candidates leave with paperwork in hand — no waiting on posted certificates.
Renewals handled
Digital records held and a reminder sent before the three-year expiry, so nobody runs an expired ticket.
