Forklift training in West London
On-site forklift training in Ealing, Greenford, Southall, Park Royal, Hounslow, Feltham, Brentford, Heathrow, Hayes, Hillingdon and Uxbridge. On-site, on your own trucks, with no travel charge.
West London is the capital's engine room. Park Royal, the largest industrial estate in London, feeds the city's restaurants and supermarkets; Greenford, Perivale and Southall along the A40 hold food manufacturers, cash and carries and the Western International wholesale market; and Heathrow, Hayes, Feltham and Hounslow run the busiest air-cargo operation in the country, with freight forwarders, bonded warehouses, pharmaceutical cold chains and courier hubs working 24 hours a day. Pharmaceutical and consumer-goods firms on the Great West Road, the Sky and BBC studios, Stockley Park and the Uxbridge business parks add more. Our instructors are airside-aware and used to night shifts, secure sites and flight-schedule constraints.
Local customers typically work in air freight and cargo handling, food manufacturing and wholesale, cash and carry, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods, media and studios, courier and express. Whatever the sector, the format is the same: an accredited Forklift Agency instructor comes to your premises anywhere in West London and Heathrow, trains your operators on your own trucks, tests them, and we post HSE-recognised certificates. Courses run around your shift pattern, early mornings, nights or weekends, at the same price.

Common questions
Where does the training happen?
At your premises, on your trucks, in the environment your operators actually work in. We do not run a training centre in London or anywhere else. The instructor brings everything else: the safety videos on a laptop or tablet, theory material, cones, test papers and the certificates.
Is there a travel charge for London or the Home Counties?
No. Training anywhere inside the M25 and across the surrounding counties, from Reading to Southend and from Stevenage to Crawley, is quoted at the same rate, with no charge for travel or accommodation. Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire are covered by our Derby, Nottingham and Leicester sites, and the rest of the UK by Forklift Agency.
Do you charge more for nights or weekends?
No. Our instructors fit into your shift pattern, including early mornings, nights and weekends, at no extra cost, subject to availability. In London that often means starting before the roads fill up or training after the last delivery.
Does the instructor need parking?
One space for a car or small van, close enough to unload cones and equipment. If parking is impossible at your site, tell us when you book and we will plan around it.
