Our HIAB training course is designed for those who wish to use lorry mounted loader cranes.

HIAB lorries can be hazardous and complex pieces of equipment, requiring technical knowledge and competent skill, as well as statutory qualifications.
Both employer and employee have obligations to comply with the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, as well as PUWER 98 & LOLER 98 regulations etc.
Professional instruction and a qualification will meet the requirements as laid down, and must be awarded by a governing body. Operator training must be arranged through a professional training centre, such as Trailer Training UK Ltd.
